  	DIED at New Bedford, Ill, April 29th 1863, of bronchial pneumonia and typhoid fever, Mr. JEREMIAH MATHIS in the eighty-sixth year of his age. The subject of this obituary was born in Tuckerton, New Jersey, Nov. 26 A.D. 1777, emigrated to Ohio at an early day where he lived many years of his life, and raised a large and respectable family. He came to Illinois in 1840, and settle d in Bureau county where now his remains find a final resting place. He was born and raised among the "Friends" and consistent with early education he lived a quiet, moral, useful life. He possessed a remarkably excellent physical constitution and almost unyielding powers of endurance. As a mechanic he had fe w superiors and he continued to work at his bench, and elsewhere until about a week before his decease. He also enjoyed the full possession of his mental faculties, and in the ripeness of his old age calmly passed to the "better land". His career which commenced only a few months after the birth-day of American Independence, has run parallel with almost the entire history of our Government, and it is with satisfaction that we record his name among the veteran fathers who labor ed for and loved our country so long and well. But it is with sadness we note his death, now in this hour of our country's trial and danger. Heaven grant that the sunshine of political peace which lighted his pathway through life may soon again return, long to cheer and bless his posterity.
