Death of Capt. John Isowycr.
Although an event that has long
been anticipated by his immediate
family and intimate friends, the
death of this aged citizen, which oc.
Cured at his residence on Ferry
street. at half past s o'clock Wcdncs,
day evening, was surprise to most
of our citizens, so quietly did the fa,
tai messenger accomplish his mission.
The old gentleman never fully recov-
cred from the attack of two years
ago, although he has not been confin-
ed to his bed until within the last
few days. When the summons final.
ly came, it found him resting peace.
fully, in the full enjoyment of his
reasoning faculties, and ready; and
thus, while surrounded by Il number
of his children, who conversed while
he slept, the machinery stopped, the
long and stormy voyage Of life was
over, and he entered the quiet har-
Dor of peace and rest. The name of
Capt. John Bowyer has been familiar
to every citizen Of our county for the
last half century, on account of his
prominence in local affairs, But as
we have been promised a full account,
by one familiar with his past histo
ry, in time for our next, we leave the
subject for the present, The remains
will be inferred at o'clock this af-
ternoon, in the family cemetery on
the farm of his son, General Geo. C..
Bowyer, adjoining town.-Putnam
