REID, Esq., a gentleman long known in this community as one of the most accomplished and distinguished members of the Houston Bar. He died suddenly, on the morning the the 25th inst., at about 4 o'clock, of a disease of the heart; in consequence of which, he had, latterly, been greatly debilitated. In common with the general feeling upon this subject, we sincerely lament the loss to his family and relatives, to society, and to the country, of a citizen so worthy and valuable as was the deceased. He united to the moral and social virtues the highest intellectual endowments, which secured him an exalted rank, among the learned, as a man of genius, intelligence and taste, to which high qualities were super-added an elevated sense of honor, and an active benevolence of feeling whose warm and generous impulses exercised a controlling influence upon his conduct and bearing. It must have been very gratifying to his other sympathizing friends, as it was to us, to witness the evidences of that respect for his memory so generally entertained, and so fully manifested by a participation of all orders of his fellow citizens in his funeral obsequies. The Masonic Fraternity, of which he was a distinguished member--the company of Dragoons, of which he was a commissioned officer--the Hon. Richard MORRIS, Judge of the First Judicial District, and the Bar of Houston, to which he had rendered himself an ornament by the ability and liberality which marked the practice of his profession, and the citizens generally--all united in the last sad offices of attention to the remains of the deceased. 12/25/1841:2
