Thursday, 5 Feb 1863 Volume 4, Number 19 Mr. William Wherry Died at his residence, in this place, on Saturday, 31st ult., Mr. William Wherry, aged about 69 years. Mr. Wherry's illness was brief. He took his bed on Wednesday and died on the following Saturday. He had attained to a green old age – to the ordinary span allotted to mortals. – and quietly and serenely his spirit took its flight to that other world where "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." He was universally esteemed for his many good qualities. He leaves a wife and several grown-up children, with many other relatives, to mourn his loss. They have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
