Death of George D. Street
A good man has departed, an old and esteemed citizen of St. Andrews has been called to his rest, after a life of virtue and usefulness; and it is with feelings of sorrow and regret that we read the death of George Dixen Street, which will be seen under the proper heading. Mr. Street when quite a young man arrived in St. Andrews, and having received a classical education, read law in the office of his uncle, the late Alfred L. Street, and after completing his studies, was admitted an Attorney in Oct. 1833, and afterwards a barrister in oct. 1835. He was a Queen’s Counsel and also Judge of Probate in Charlotte County. He was married to Susan, youngest daughter of the late Hon. Thomas Wryer. His uncle having removed to Saint John, he commenced practice in St. Andrews, and soon acquired a large business from his ability, integrity, and knowledge of the profession. He was for a short time a Representative of the County in the Local Legislature, being elected on the Conservative Ticket, and ranked high in estimation of his legislative colleagues. Mr. Street was studious, well read, a ready speaker at the Bar, and possessed a high sense of honor; indeed, in all relations of life, he was deservedly respected for his many virtues. He was a devoted member of the Church of England, and for several years up to the time of his death, a Warden of that Church. He leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters with a large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn their loss. “Friend, after friend departs, who hath not lost a friend.” (aged 71 years)
