4Obituary.
"From the Fredonia Censor of Chautauqua Co, NY 26 July 1837 Death of Gilbert Douglass, Esq. We regret that it is our duty to announce the death of our late fellow townsman, Gilbert Douglass, Esq., formerly high sheriff of this county, and a man universally esteemed by all acquainted with him. He died at his residence at Otter Creek, Green Co.,. IL, aged 54 years. For the gratification of this numerous friends here, we make the following extracts from a letter from one of his neighbors to a brother of the deceased in this village.
His decease took place on the 30th ultim [June,] at the 10 o'clock A.M. after an illness of five weeks, during four of which he was so comfortable as to be able to walk about the house. The origin of his sickness appears to have been an affliction of the liver, which is thought to have been sometime coming on, and finally to have produced dropsy. He appeared to suffer but little during his sickness, excepting from the distress occasioned by a severe cough, and the difficulty of breathing. After being confined to his bed he failed gradually until his death.
Every thing appears to have been done for his relief and restoration, which could be suggested by the most able of the medical faculty in this region and by the most kind and warm hearted friends.
By his removal his afflicted family have met with a severe and irreparable loss. His esteemed consort is deprived of a devoted and affectionate husband: his children of a kind and indulgent father: this community of an obliging neighbor; and the county of a worthy and highly respected citizen.
Residing near one of the most public roads he received a great many calls from his numerous acquaintance, and from strangers. And such was his generosity, his kindness and hospitality, that it was seldom he could be persuaded to receive any compensation for the trouble or expense of entertaining those whom either business, convenience or necessity, brought to his domicil.
In a country like this, where there are but few houses for public entertainment, there are few whose loss would probably be more noticed and regretted, by the weary and benighted traveler, than the subject of these brief remarks, which are considered but a just tribute of respect to his memory."
