Death

At West Davenport [Delaware Co. NY] on the 23d ult. Jabez Hitchcock, Esq. aged 76 years.  Esq. H. was one of the pioneer settlers of the village of Delhi [Delaware Co. NY].  In early life he came to that place and contemporaneously with Gen. Root, Dr. Paine and others made an active and intelligent citizen, ever ready to use his utmost exertions to promote the growth and prosperity of the village.  His correct and able discharge of the onerous duties of principal Magistrate, will long be remembered by businessmen with whom officially he came in contact.  During the last 20 years he resided at the place of his decease.  He was spared beyond the allotted term of life and endured much suffering from diseases peculiar to old age.  Ripe in years and with a full share of the trials and troubles incident to earth's pilgrimage, he has gone down to the grave with a confident assurance that his "Redeemer liveth."
