Obituary
The melancholy duty devolves upon us this week, of announcing the death of one of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants, the Honorable Thomas Wyer, which took place at his residence on Saturday last, the 23d inst., in the 69th year of his age. Col. Wyer was deservedly esteemed and respected, not only in this, his native County, but through the Province, generally, wherever he was known. He was for many years one of the Representatives for this County in the House of Assembly, and for the last six years a member of the Legislative Council, a Justice of the Common Pleas, and for some time presided on the Bench of that court. He was also a Director of the C. C. Bank, Lieut. Col. Of the 2nd Battalion, C. C. Militia, and held several other offices of trust. He has left a widow and large circle of relatives and friends, to lament their sudden bereavement.
The funeral will take place this day at 3 o’clock from his late residence, when friends and acquaintances are invited to attend.
