DIED
In Canandaigua, Mr. Oren HALL, aged 38, formerly of Walpole, N.H. (Printers in
Massachusetts are requested to notice the above death.)
In Cambridge, Washington county, at an advanced age, Maj. Abraham VAN TYLE.
He was one of the heroes of the revolution and was long a distinguished member
of the church and society, and is deeply lamented by a numerous acquaintance.
On the 14th inst. at his late residence in Steuben, after a short but fatal
attack of the cholera morbus, Dr. Daniel R. ROBERTS (more generally known by
the name of the Welch Doctor.) Dr. ROBERTS was 45 years of age, a native
of Wales, had lived but a few years in this country, and had become deservedly
celebrated as a physician, particularly in cancers and chronic
complaints. He was of a very humane and benevolent disposition, exerted
himself to relieve the poor who applied for medical aid, equally as for the
rich, although in a great many instances there was no prospect of his
receiving but little, if any compensation; and in many cases of the widow and
fatherless, he wholly released compensation when offered. His death will
be lamented by thousands who are laboring under complaints of the above
description. The Doct. has left an amiable wife, and three children to
mourn his loss. pm
