May 14 1833

MR SAMUEL MATHEWSON of this town, having determined to emigrate with his Family to Canada, and being to sail from Derry in a few days, by the Ship Regalia, Captain Smyth, for Quebec, our Townsmen, anxious to testify their feelings of respect and esteem towards Mr Mathewson, previous to his departure, presented him, on Saturday last, with Dr. Adam Clarke’s Bible and Commentary, very handsomely bound, in Eight volumes Quarto.

In each Volume is tastefully printed the following Inscription :

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE

As MR. JOHN MATHEWSON of Liscabell, near Gortin, was returning on Tuesday last from the market of this town, in crossing a ford near N. T. Stewart, he unfortunately fell from his horse and was drowned. His friends used every exertion to find his body but without success until the morning of Sunday last, when it was discovered on the strand near Lifford. The untimely fate of Mr Mathewson has caused very general and sincere sorrow as he was particularly esteemed by every person who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His remains were removed to Newtownstewart on Sunday for Interment
