The National Intelligencer, April 23, 1814 Died. Yesterday in this city, after an illness of four or five days only, Samuel A. Otis, Esquire, late Secretary of the Senate, aged 73. His long and faithful service in many important public offices, and especially in that of Secretary of the Senate, from the first organization of the General Government, to the last day of the last session of the Senate, (during which time he was never absent a single day from the duties of the Senate while in session) entitle him to the grateful remembrance of his country. His friends and the citizens of the District are invited to attend his funeral this day at 3 o'clock p.m. from his late residence on the Capitol-hill. |
