The Star
23 Aug 1810

The following tribute of respect was received in time for our last paper but 
was mislaid.

Communication

Died, in Edenton, on Monday, 31st ult., Mr. Jno. B. Hunter of Williamston.

While those on whose minds the recollection of his many virtures are yet 
strongly impress'd, feel solicitous to revere the memory and regret the 
premature death of this worthy character, let the veil which covers human 
frailty, rest o'er those foibles, which alas! are inseparable from the nature 
of man. Enriched by inheritance of superior intellect, with a magnanimity of 
soul, that spurn'd the idea of every groveling and fraudulent deed, happily 
blended with humility, whose calm influence can reconcile us to the 
calamitites of time, nor suffer us to repine at the inscrutable mandates of 
Heaven - Laden with the sighs of the affluent, and the tears of the indigent, 
(whose grateful hearts can testify, that benificence was not wanting to 
complete the fulness of his character,) did the affectionate husband, the 
faithful friend, the indulgent master and honest citizen, embark for that 
Haven, where the hand that writes will become motionless, and the eyes that 
read will be dimmed.
