DIED. In Boston, on Wednesday, the 23d inst., SAMUEL GORE, Esquire, in the 81st year of his age. Mr. Gore was an elder brother of the late Governor Gore. His vocation in life, was that of a busy, industrious, thriving mechanic; and when the instruments which he held in his working hours were laid aside, he was the intelligent and courteous associate of the well informed and respectable men of his time. No man surpassed him in kindness of heart, or in gentleness of manner. His home was the abode of the peaceable and amiable affections, which make home the most grateful place that one can know. Mr. Gore acquired, by his industry, an ample fortune; and believed himself, after the age of seventy-five, to be a man of independent wealth; but unforeseen and distressing changes, in the turn of the times, embittered his last years, and made him the subject of affectionate and sorrowful sympathy. He was one of the number who destroyed the tea in Boston Harbor, in 1773. It is stated there are only three surviving members of that patriotic band. (The U.S. Gazette, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 29 Nov 1831, p2)
