March 27, 1822
Obituary - Died - A few weeks since, at Rowland’s, between this place and Knoxville, Mr. Samuel Carswell, an old and respectable merchant of Philadelphia. He had for many years, been severely afflicted with the gout, and was on a journey to this state for the purpose of trying the effects of a southern climate upon his health. It is understood that he was delayed by several painful attacks of his disease, before he reached Mr. Rowland’s, where it became so violent as to terminate his useful life in the course of six or seven days. In the death of Mr. Carswell, society has lost an honest and worthy member and his family has sustained an irreparable misfortune. He emigrated from Ireland at an early period and engaged in mercantile pursuits in the city of Philadelphia with a very moderate capital. By industry and perseverance he acquired an immense fortune, exceeded by few in the United States. To the worthy and enterprising in the profession, he was always found to be accommodating and liberal and never was known to add to his wealth by speculating upon the distresses and misfortunes of his brethren. The merchants of the West and other sections of the union have uniformly recognized in Mr. Carswell a sincere friend and have amply cause to deplore his loss. This is an humble and imperfect tribute to the memory and virtues of this excellent man by a friend who in consequence of absence from this state, has just been made acquainted with the lamentable event.

July 31, 1822
Died - On Sunday evening the 14th instant at his residence in Davidson county, Mr. Martin Greer. He died with a short illness after living a permanent resident in said county about twenty-five years and by diligence and industry, raised to a life in easy circumstances, a respectable family of children. His conduct and deportment through life has been worthy of imitation and such as will afford a heart felt satisfaction to his immediate relations in hours of serious reflection.

August 21, 1822
Died - Suddenly on Saturday morning last, Mrs. Jane Miller, for the last fifteen years a respectable resident of this place.

Died - On the 30th Ult., Mr. Jacob B. Martin of this town, son of Col. William Martin, of Smith county, after an illness of 22 days.

He was highly respected by all who knew him. His moral and correct deportment, applauded by all who thought correctly; and he was a favorite son of his parents. Long will they feel and mourn his loss - for few have such a son.
