Edenton Gazette, Friday, June 11, 1811
   DEPARTED THIS LIFE, universally regretted, in the City of New York, on the 
22nd ult., WILLIAM LITTLEJOHN, ESQ., of Edenton, Counsellor at Law, in the 
31st year of his age. He had long been subject to an inflammatory affection of 
the chest, until at length the lurking and insidious disease assumed the well-
known character of incipient consumption. 
   He was advised by his friends to try the effect of a West Indian voyage, 
and in consequence, went to the island of Martinique, but deriving little or 
no benefit from change of climate, he returned to the United States still 
entertaining a lingering hope of obtaining relief by visiting a more northern 
temperature in the summer season: but alas! in vain.
   With those who were allied to him by the tender ties of consanquinity, his 
untimely and premature death will be long and deeply deplored, as an 
irreparable deprivation: he has left behind him an aged father -- brothers and 
sisters whose affliction for his loss can only be ameliorated by the 
recollections of his distinguished worth, and by a pious submission to the 
will of the Almighty.
