American Beacon, August 22, 1837
It is our painful duty to record the death of ISAAC TALBOT, Esq., yesterday 
morning, after an illness of some days, of apoplexy of the lungs. He was one 
of our most useful and public spirited citizens, and in the prosecution of his 
business as ship-builder, he had enriched our port with several fine specimens 
of naval architecture. He was an Alderman of the Borough for many years past, 
and was ever prompt and zealous in the discharge of his duties. His place 
cannot readily be filled; for to the virtures already accorded to him may be 
added those of a kind and steadfast friend: No man could be more firmly relied 
upon in the hours of trial, and his death will be lamented by many, as that of 
a brother. He has left a wife and two children to mourn the loss of the most 
affectionate husband and tender parent. May He, in whose hands are the issues 
of life and death, wipe away the tear of the widow and orphan, and guard and 
guide them in this the hour of their calamity.

His funeral will take place from his residence this afternoon at 4 o'clock, at 
which his friends are respectfully invited to attend.
