July 12 1825
On the 27th ult. aged twenty two
years, MISS ISABELLA McFARLAND, daughter of ARMAR McFARLAND, ESQ. of
Straree, This amiable young lady bore, with pious resignation, her tedious
illness with a firm reliance on the merits of her Saviour; awaited her
dissolution without terror in happy tranquillity and peace. Her worthy
mother about six weeks ago paid the same debt of nature. This last calamity
has added to the cup of woe another bitter ingredient. By her well-spent
time, her piety and charity, she has secured to her possession that eternal
“Inheritance which is laid up for us in Heaven.” In truth she was an
affectionate friend, a valuable acquaintance. How painful and agonizing are
those separations from our esteemed relations and friends from all we hold
most dear; but there is always something however to soften the affliction by
the prospect of felicity in reversion, which the pious may hope for, and by
the positive certainty of a recognition of friends in a better world with
purer and more refined affections

January 12 1836
SIR JOHN JAMES HAMILTON, BART. Of the
many distinguished military officers whose deaths we have recorded, there
are few whose services so well deserved the gratitude of their country as
those of SIR JOHN HAMILTON, BART., of Woodbrook, in the County of Tyrone,
who died a few days ago, being, at the period of his decease, a Lieut.
General in the Army, Colonel of the 69th Regt., Governor of Duncannon Fort
and Knight Grand Cross of the Military Order of the Tower and Sword. The
gallant officer entered upon active service at an unusually early age, and
for a period of upwards fifty years, ending with the general peace of 1815,
he was never unemployed, was never on half pay, and, what is perhaps without
parallel in the British army, he was never, during more than half a century,
relieved from duty by official leave of absence, excepting for one fortnight
only. During the Peninsular war, his professional science and acknowledged
courage were still more importantly exhibited in discharging the many
arduous duties of the trust reposed in him by the Duke of Wellington, who
confided to his command a large division of the allied army.
Whilst Inspector general of Portugal,
the national force of that kingdom became, through his indefatigable
exertions, as effective and as distinguished for high discipline as it had
previously been notorious for want of energy and military character. --- Few
achievements, even amidst numberless scenes of brilliant exploit, were more
gallant, or more deservedly the theme of universal admiration, than this
brave soldier’s almost unexampled and almost incredible defence of the
unfortified town, and dismantled castle Alba de Tormes [Spain] in the latter
kingdom with fifteen hundred men, exhausted by an harassing march against
the pursuing army of Soult, fifteen thousand strong, and supported by twenty
pieces of artillery. Sir John was in his 81st year, descended from a younger
son of the noble house of Abercorn, and was related to many of the leading
families in the north of Ireland. He married EMILY SOPHIA MONKS,
grand-daughter of MARCUS, EARL OF TYRONE; and has left, besides his
successor, the present SIR JOHN JAMES HAMILTON BART., four daughters, of
whom the second is married to SHEFFIELD GRACE, ESQ., brother of SIR WILLIAM
GRACE, BART.
