Deaths

In Meredith [Delaware Co. NY] on the 30th of October last, Elizabeth [Paine] consort of Abijah Paine, Esq. in the 52 year of her age.  She had been for six years past very much afflicted with a severe nervous affection.  Her last illness was a violent inflammation of the lungs, of a malignant type, but receded from the afflictions and penalties of this world with gratifying submission believing she should enjoy a better one.

In Litchfield, Medina County, Ohio, Oct. 16, Mr. Rufus Nash in the 34th year of his age. The deceased was a resident of Sandford, Broome County, N.Y. and a member of the Presbyterian Church of that town.  He had gone to Ohio to purchase land, was attacked with the cholera soon after his arrival and survived only twenty-four hours.  He died in hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.

Delaware Gazette, Delhi, NY, November 25, 1832

Deaths

In this village [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on the 25th instant, John Day Downs, late of the village of Havanna.  He was taken slightly ill when about leaving New York to return home and by reason of hastening his journey to this place, his disease became so aggravated as to render of no avail the least medicinal aid, and the kind care of friends. The deceased formerly resided in this village [Delhi] for several years and was endeared to his acquaintances by many amiable qualities.  Cut off in the spring tide of manhood and worldly prosperity, his exit teaches us another startling lesson of the transitoriness of earthly enjoyments and the vanity of all human pursuits which fall short of the great aim of our existence, a preparation for the world to come.

In this town [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY], on Thursday last, after a short but severe illness, Mr. Peter R. Yendes in the 26th year of his age.
