Obituary
Died on the 10th inst.. at Clinton after a painful and protracted illness of three months, which he bore with christian fortitude, Major Thomas W. Gwin, of Washington County, Miss, late of Sumner county Tennessee, aged 31 years. No one can properly deplore the loss of this truly amiable and estimable man, except those to whom he was personally known. In the various relations of child, brother, husband, father, and friend, his conduct was such as to ensure the lasting affections of all those to whom he was thus connected. All who knew him can testify that he has left no warmer heart of nobler spirit behind him. To his numerous distant relations and friends it will be consoling to know that he died the death of the christian. It was remarked by the aged and pious divine, who visited him in his last moments, that in a long life, he had never witnessed such willingness to die, and such a bright & triumphant faith in a happy immortality. He called on his afflicted wife, brothers, and friends to meet him in heaven, where a place was already prepared for him, and closed by calling most choice blessings of heaven on his absent aged father and mother, the former of whom has been a Methodist Minister for upwards of forty years. By the death of this truly goo man, his wife has lost an affectionate husband, his two small children a tender parent, and his relations and friends a highly valued relation and friend.
