Mary WELCH
10th December 1834

DIED at Glen Craig on Wednesday the 3rd inst, Mrs. E.H. PHILIPPS, wife of Thomas PHILIPPS Esq, Justice of the Peace for the Albany District. The deceased was greatly beloved, not only of her domestic circle, but by all who knew her; and although her general deportment bore ample testimony to her unaffected piety, yet it was more conspicuously manifest in a peaceful and happy death. Her illness, which terminated so fatally, was of but few days continuance, and when drawing to a close, she contemplated her approaching departure with the faith and hope of the Christian: of one who can confidently exclaim “henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which shall never fade!”

DIED at Port Elizabeth on the 7th inst, Mr. E. WALLACE, Harbour Master at that Port, at the early age of 42 years.

Thursday 18 December 1834

DIED in Graham’s Town at the house of Mr. G. MAYNARD, on the 16th inst, Henry NOURSE Esq of Port Frances, in the District of Albany, aged 55 years.
