August 24 1830

DIED

On the 21st inst. at Gortin, near Ballindreat, the Rev. James Houston, jun. aged 26 years. He was a young man, of the most amiable and interesting dispositions, sincerely beloved by the members of his own family, esteemed by his associates, and respected by the public. He was an assiduous and successful student in the Belfast Institution, where his worth, his amiable and engaging qualities were appreciated as they deserved.--- After the completion of his Collegiate studies, not indeed without the attainment of many honours, he became a promising, and faithful Licentiate of the Presbyterian Church. Shortly after he had been called to that sacred office, it pleased God, whose ways are inscrutable, to interrupt his prospects of usefulness, by visiting his with a lingering disease, which terminated in death. His respected parents and family, have to lament, in his decease the loss of a dutiful son and affectionate brother, accompanied however, by the consoling and cheering assurance, that he is now a child of God, and an heir of glory (Strabane Morning Post) (Londonderry Sentinel)
