Ancrum. Very suddenly, in this city, on Saturday last the 19th inst., James H. Ancrum, Esq. of South Carolina. This gentleman arrived here on Wednesday evening from Philadelphia, and on Friday morning was at the Capitol; a severe cold, which he had taken upon the road, fell upon his chest, accompanied with fever, which rapidly and unexpectedly terminated his existence on Saturday at 9 o'clock p.m. This distressing event will be as severe, as it is unlooked for, by his amiable and afflicted family, who are as yet unapprised even of his indisposition. (From St. John's Cemetery, 1860) |
