The mountain sentinel: (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853: October 21, 1852
At his residence in this place, on Saturday, the 9th inst., James Rhey, Esq., in the
sixty-second year of his age. Thus has passed away another of our old and respected
citizens, whose long residence in the county, and extensive business made him
familiarly known to the people of the whole county. His father was born in Dublin
and emigrated to this country, when he settled near Newry, then Bedford, now Blair
county, where the deceased was born on the 27th of February 1791... For the last two
years his health had been gradually declining, so that his death came not
unexpected, but found him fully prepared to meet it. He was buried in the burial
ground of the Catholic church in this place, and the long train of friends who
followed him "to that bourne from whence no traveller returnes" attests the esteem
in which he was held by that community, in which he had so long resided.
