Death

Died, At Fly Creek, Otsego County [NY] on the 25th ult. of inflammation of the lungs, Dr. E.B. Ingalls aged 37 years.

This last illness was of short duration, confining him only eight days, but his sufferings were extreme.  This blow of a wise and good Providence is a heavy one, not only to the lone widow, the now fatherless children and surviving relations, but to the whole community in which he lived.  The departed was an ornament and an honor to his profession.  The kindness of his heart, with his untiring diligence in the discharge of the duties imposed upon him, has embalmed his name in the memory of those he was called to serve, and while they deplore their own severe loss, they cannot fail to give a generous sympathy and affectionate attention to those he left behind.  While his early departure from the circle he adorned, cannot fail to remind all who survive him of the changeless truth that "in the midst of life we are in death."
