Lancaster, September 3, 1802. Obituary. Died, after a few hours sickness of cholera morbus, on the 4th inst. at his home on the Conestoga, in the vicinity of ___ Borough, General Edward Hand, in the 58th year of his age; and his remains were interred the following day in the Episcopal burial ground in the Borough of Lancaster, attended by his weeping relatives and a crowd of sympathising friends.
This gentleman was a native of Ireland. He arrived in the country before the Revolution; and, during that period, entered the continental army, and rose to the rank of adjutant-general. In this character he rendered important services to the country. After the war, he retired to the practice of physic, a profession in which he had been brought up. In the year' 98 [1798], he was appointed a major-general in the provisional army of the United States.
As a physician, he was eminently useful, ever ready to the calls of necessity and distress; neither poverty nor condition were consuited in his visits. ...Affectionate as a husband, tender as a parent, and useful as a citizen and physician, he has left a disconsolate widow, and six children, with a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, to bewail his decease.
