John Mcllenry.or as he was usually called •'Jack the sailor" made his appearance in this vicinity about tec or twelve years ago, but who he was, or from where became, no one ku'-w, well educated tall and commanding in figure, with a full deep voice and picrceiiig eye, Jack attracted no little attention- Being rather taciturn when he first mine among us, it was a frequent remark that ' Jack had seen better days," but after better aequaintan-e he became more communicative, ami wo learn that he has been a "Powder menkey" in the navy in the was of 1312 and afterward a tailor, that during his service in the nary he was engaged in many of our mortal conflicts, and afterward visited many foreign ports and be came acquainted with the manner nnd cust >ui§ ot the people of various partt of the world. He then came bark tn his old home in the State of New York and was made Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff of C rauge Co. Jack then volacteere 1 in the Florida, and afterwards in the Ilia k Hawk war, and had many hairbreadth escapes among tfce indians in these campaigns. From that time until he came here his history is to us a myth. He afterwards s'ated that he had friends living nt or near Beloit, in Wisconsin bat we never learned their names. Jack's greatest enemy u the cup,.yet he was strictly honest and when able to walk, was industrious. Poor Jack ! his veice is hushed and the sparkle of his eyes is dimmed, he died among strangers and now fills a paupers grave, no r lative was near to soothe him in his last moments, nor to follow him to his last rest ing place ; but although he breathed his last among strangers, he -va< kindly cared for, and decently buried, many moist eyes were seen among those who followed his remains to tie silent House, yel all feel that the "Sweet little cherub who sits up •'oft has prepared a safe haven for Jack." - Obituary, I from, the Republican end Ttlcetrapfi\ Dixon, ILLINOIS, Jan. 14 1664 Died— Of Consumption On ThursdHj the 7th inst Gertrude Elizabeth, Wife of Dr. Charles J Reynolds, aged 26 years, daughter of M;ij James Sterling, born in Braintrim Wyoming Co.
