As a testimony of the love and esteem of his fellow citizens, a great number attented his funeral to St. Paul's church yard, on Wednesday last, where he was buried. The many good qualities which united in this gentleman, render the tribute of reverence justly due to his memory. Additional Comments: I believe this to be James Claypoole, Sr. Sheriff of Philadelphia who many thought died in Jamaica, but this proves he died Philadelphia.
