March 29, 1828
Communicated: Departed this life, on the 23rd instant, William J. Bass, a member
of the Junior class in the University of Nashville in the 19th year of his age.
He was a young man of promising talents an of studious and industrious habits.
His deportment was uniformly moral, gentlemanly and decorous. He was beloved by
his companions and respected by all who knew him. His memory will ever remain
embalmed n the hearts of his fellow students and while they deplore the loss of
a worthy and valuable friend, the public may regret its sudden deprivation of
one who would have proved an ornament and blessing to his country. His sudden
and premature death compels us to exclaim: “Not glowing health, nor youthful
years; Not friendship’s sighs, nor parents’ tears, Can shield us from thy venom
sting, thou monster death - thou sateless king.” At a meeting of the students of
the Nashville University, held in consequence of the death of William J. Bass,
late, a member of the Junior class of that institution, Nicholas F. Edminston
was called to the chair and John D. Phelan appointed Secretary, when the
following resolutions were entered into: Resolved, That each student of the
Nashville University, in token of their remembrance and respect, wear crape on
the left arm for the space of thirty days. Resolved, That at the time appointed,
the whole body of the students assemble at the house of the deceased to attend
his remains to the grave. N. P. Edmiston, President, J. D. Phelan, Secretary. It
may be gratifying to his distant relations and friends to learn that the
President, Professors, Trustees and Students of the University, together with a
large concourse of citizens, attended his burial.

Southern winds, just ready to expire.”

November 29, 1828
Communicated: Died on Friday morning 21st inst., Mrs. Nancy Williamson. She had
suffered much during a long a painful illness which she bore with firmness and
Christian fortitude; and when the messenger came to bid her departure from this
vale of tears, the light of joy and resignation developed itself on her
countenance, and she seemed to have died in the glorious hope of soon resting in
the arms of her Saviour. She had been a member of the Methodist Church about
thirty years, during which time she walked in the fear of the Lord, and looked
upon her Saviour as the only mediator of the new covenant. She has left this
vale of tears - she has “fought the good fight” - she died in peace and is now
resting on the bosom of her God. She winged her flight at the bidding of the
great messenger of peace, to the realms above where sin, trial and tribulations
dare not shew their deformed heads; but where they all shall unite in one
eternal strain in singing the praises of God and the lamb forever. She has left
the sins and troubles of this world and is gone to a better clime.
