Died at his residence, 124 Leroy St., on Saturday, September 15, at 35 minutes past 3 P.M., Alexander Duncan, father-in-law of the editor of this paper [George Payn Quackenbos], aged 76 years, 10 months, and 15 days.
For upwards of half a century a member of the Church of Christ, the hope of his declining years was fixed on his Redeemer, who sustained him in peace to the close. His aged widow and surviving children mourn their own bereavement, but rejoice in his gain, who, released from the infirmity of old age, has entered on the blessedness of those who "sleep in Jesus," and whom "the Lord will bring with him at his coming."
He rests from his labors. His memory is sacred.
Literary American (New York)
He whose death, at a ripe old age, is announced in the above extract, was a native of Forest(sic), Scotland. He emigrated to New York in the year 1809. Since that time, with the exception of some three or four years' residence in Canada (near Toronto), he has lived in the city of New York, -discharging, in every respect, his duties as an adopted citizen of the United States. In early life he became a member of the Presbyterian Church, to which he remained firm in his attachment to the day of this death.-His memory will long be preserved,-by no one longer than by him who pens this brief obituary notice of that venerable man whom he was taught, from infancy, to respect and venerate as his only surviving grandfather. Peace and joy be ever his in the heavenly land of Canaan.
