Death
Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone! From the National Intelligencer, Nov. 24: This day we have a melancholy duty to perform. Another of the Worthies of the Revolution, the tried patriot and consistent Politician, the second Officer of our Government, the venerable [Elbridge] Gerry [1744-1814] is no more! Yesterday, between the hours of ten and eleven he breathed his last.
His death was as sudden as it was unexpected. In apparent health he presided in the Senate during an arduous sitting on the preceding day. Fifteen minutes before his death, although in his seventieth year, he bade fair to outlive many of those who read these lines. At a few minutes warning the thread of life was out, and his spirit winged its flight to happier realms.

Death of Rev. Dr. Beadle: The following dispatch, dated Philadelphia, Jan. 6, records the death of a native of Cooperstown [Otsego Co. NY] held in high esteem by the older residents of the place to whom he was known:
The Rev. Elias R. Beadle, D.D. died in Philadelphia during the night of Sunday, almost literally with his harness on. He preached in the morning in his own pulpit in the Second Presbyterian Church at Twenty-first and Walnut Streets and during the service announced that the debt of the church amounting to $75,000 had been provided for, part of the amount paid in, and the remainder guaranteed. After the service he was congratulated by many of the audience and said that the one thing that he had been laboring for had been accomplished. He had built up a church to the worship of God and it was free from debt. He started for his home and had only gone three squares when an icy gust of wind seemed to cut into his heart. He succeeded in reaching the door of this brother-in-law's house, only a few steps away and Dr. Agnew was called. He gradually grew worse and expired yesterday morning. Dr. beadle was about 65 years of age.

Aaron Brewer who died in this town Monday afternoon at the residence of his son-in-law, William Hackett, was born in Cambridge, Washington Co. [NY] October 23, 1793, and was consequently 95 years of age. He was our oldest citizen and during a busy life had formed many strong friendships. In politics Mr. Brewer was a Democrat, voting consistently and conscientiously. He had no ambition for office and never held any. To the last his mind remained clear and intelligent, and he dropped away as a man worn out.
