John Hassam
DIED, In this city (Raleigh, NC), on the 23d
inst. after a very serious illness, which he bore with exemplary
fortitude, John H. Hassam, Esq. a native of New-Hampshire, but for the
last three years a resident of this place. He was a kind and
affectionate husband; a friendly and obliging neighbor; his attachment
for his friends sincere. Nature appeared to have endowed him with a very
strong mind; his turn for the mechanic art was admirable, and he has
left behind him several specimens of his inventive talent He had not
long since obtained a license to practice law, and was just entering
upon the arduous duties of that profession, when he was cut off in the
prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness. He has left numerous
friends and an amiable widow to deplore their premature
loss.
