The Cumberland Pacquet - 25 Feb 1812
DEATHS.

Sunday morning last, at Workington, Mrs. BECK, wife of John BECK, Esq.,
Comptroller of the Customs and daughter of the late Rev. B. ALLOTT, of this
town. This excellent lady possessed the solid endowments of piety and
virtue, in an eminent degree; and to an engaging disposition, added the
graces of a highly cultivated understanding. In her, society has sustained
the loss of a real ornament, and the poor that of a liberal though
unostentatious benefactress. Her regretted death was awfully sudden.

Awful instance of Mortality, in one family. The Rev. Edward BOWERBANK, A. M.
(a native of this county) rector of Croft near Darlington, and of Barningham
in the county of York, (and also a prebend of Lincoln) died some years
since, a widower, leaving six children. On Tuesday the 28th ult. Ann, his
daughter, died at Bristol Hot Wells, aged 26. And on Sunday the 9th inst.
(at the house of her brother, the rector of Chiswick) Isabel, the second
daughter aged 22. Edward, the second son, (on his return from India) aged
23, and Mary, (the third daughter) aged 24 died about three months ago. Mr.
BOWERBANK, (the father) after leaving the University of Oxford, was for some
time domestic chaplain to the Bishop of Durham, (Dr. THURLOW) and his two
sons received their full classical education at St. Bees School, under the
tuition of that able and highly respected master, the late Rev. Mr. SCOTT.

Tuesday the 4th inst. at Calder-bridge, Mr. Abram SOUTHARD, mason, aged 45

other successful dramatic pieces.

At Lanark, at the advanced age of 100 years and 15 days, Mr. William HUTTON,
