Death: Philip Wiley Dry
Also after a long painful illness, Capt, John Furr, a worth, industrious and highly respectable citizen. Also, Mr. Paul Furr, in the 87th years of his age. Also, on the same day, Mr. Philip Dry, in the 76th year of age. These two old gentlemen had lived near neighbor for upwards of 50 years; and Mr. Dry had on the evening of his death, just returned from the death-bed of his neighbor, Mr. Furr, and with but an hour's warning. Was called to follow him into eternity! They were both interred at the same time.
