Death

On the evening of the 18th inst. at his residence on Fort Hill, Oxford [Chenango Co. NY, Major Dan Throop aged 56 years.  Major Throop was a native of Connecticut; for many years a resident of Columbia County in this state [NY], and an early settler of this town [Oxford].  When in possession of health and vigor he was a useful citizen and an active officer in his civil and military capacity.  For several years he had been subject at intervals to that most painful of all disorders, "which flesh is heir to," the gout.  The attack which terminated his life was of several months standing in which period he experienced the excruciating pangs of protracted disease.  A soldier of the Revolution, he met sickness and death with the characteristic firmness and resignation of his youthful profession, relying upon the merits of the Savior of mankind for peace and happiness "in that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns."  His bereaved family and connections are sensibly affected by this mournful event and with numerous friends, "weep in silence o'er the loss."
