Raleigh Minerva
Friday, Jan. 1, 1813
DIED, the 3rd of December, at Philadelphia, whither he had gone for his 
health, MATTHEW TROY, ESQ. of Salisbury. In the death of this young gentleman, 
the circle in which he lived has sustained the loss of one of the brightest 
ornaments, and North Carolina one of her most promising sons. In her service, 
he has been employed as Solicitor for the fifth Judicial District, and all 
bear testimony to the able and faithful manner in which he discharged the 
duties of that office. But the loss to his amiable wife and two lovely 
children and a widowed and aged Mother and family can never be repaired. Their 
only solace is in the recollection of what he was, and that his life, tho’ 
short, was devoted to the purposes of virtues and was full of honor. His 
friends must ever lament him, for his attachments were disinterested and 
sincere, they were ardent and unchangeable, and he was incapable of violating 
the duties of that sacred relation. A purer spirit never went to Heaven.
