Sally, aged 63, consort of Mr. Elisha Sabin, recently from the town
and county of Onondaga, N. Y. In moving to this country she was on
board the BUFFALO at the time when the BUFFALO and COM. PERRY came
in collision near Erie, and the fright and exposure consequent thereto was
too great a shock for her delicate nervous system, which she survived
but a few days. She died as she I ived, an example of Christian patience,
in the hope of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. (1)

346 - H&G June 12: 2/3 - It becomes our painful duty to announce the
decease, this morning of our esteemed friend and fellow citizen, Robert
H: Backus, Esq. The exemplary character of the deceased claims a tribute
of respect from the press, and our city has cause to mourn the loss of one
who stood pre-eminent for integrity, and unswerving honor in discharge of
his duties as a good citizen.
The magnitude of his business operations, his promptitude in meeting
all his engagements, and his liberality in conducting them, marked him as
a merchant of whom our infant city might well be proud.
