Obituary
Thomas Day. Thomas Day died, quite suddenly, at his residence in this city, on Sunday morning. The funeral took place at Trinity, Episcopal church on Tuesday, and was very largely attended. The Rector made a brief address. The deceased, the third son of Thomas and Charlotte Day, was born in Bishopton, Durham, England, in September, 1830. A few years before he came to this country he married Miss Elizabeth Body. In 1860 he arrived in this city, where he resided up to his death. Many years ago he lost his first wife; and he married, about twelve years ago, Mrs Siddell (whose maiden name was Griffith, of London, England.) She survives him, together with the eight children, three of whom were born in England. Mr. Day was a blacksmith by trade, and for yeas there was no better in this line. He was a kind husband, an indulgent father, and an honest and honorable man. The large number who attended his funeral bears testimony. The family desires to return thanks for the sympathy and kindness of friends.
