Oct. 18 ,1826 North Carolina Journal DIED, in Morganton, on the 5th October instant, in the 25th year of his age, CAPT. HUGH TATE NEWLAND. In the death of this truly valuable young man, the county, in which he lived, has sustained an irreparable loss; for he was an example of honor, industry and conciliatory deportment. But the more laudable, liberal and Christian-like principles, which awaken the warmth of a bosom susceptible of the most honorable acts, were, in him eminently conspicious. He delighted most in the extension of firm friendship, and liberal assistance. He is said to have taken pleasure in doing himself injury to benefit a friend; but ere it was rewarded in friendly return, the irresistable summons of death commanded his eternal exit to that shore, "where the weary are at rest," and troubles no more. The deceased was a member of a military school in Morganton, who paid to his memory the honors of a military burial.
