Source: Richmond Enquirer January 28, 1834 Died very early on the morning of the 11th inst., at St. Marks' Glehe, in Culpeper, (of which Parish he was Rector for full forty years,) the Rev. John Woodville. He was born in the North of England in 1763, was bred in a public Academy of last year at the hands of the present venerable Bishop of Pennsylvania, and the greater part of his after life was passed in assiduously teaching the various parts of useful and classical learning, in addition to the high duties of a christian Pastor. When a good man dies, his example ought to be held up for the imitation of his survivors, that after death, whilst alive, his actions may tend to the happiness of his fellow-men. (long eulogy with no dependants or names listed).
Died at his residence, on the 7th of January, Col. Thomas M. Bayly, of Accomack, in the 50th year of his age. Devotedly attached to his country, he spent the best years of his life in her service. Col. Bayly entered into public life in 1798, and continued in it, with the intermission of a few years, until 1830; during which time he discharged the respective duties of a member of the House of Delegates of Virginia; of the Senate of Virginia; of the Congress of the U.S.; of the late Convention which formed the new Constitution of Virginia; and of the important session of the Legislature succeeding it. Col. Bayly's highest culogy as a public man, is to be found in the continued confidence of his constituents, which he enjoyed during all of the agitated times and mutations of parties through which he passed. It is a fact, as honorable as singular, in his history, that he never lost an election, and very rarely ever had one closely contested. Co.. Bayly, as a politician, was ever found on the side of popular rights.
Died, at his residence, (Farmer's Rest) in the county of Charles city, on the 15th ultimo, Mr. Braxton Harrison, in the 30th year of his age, leaving a devoted wife and five small children, in addition to a large circle of relatives and friends to bewail their very unexpected bereavment. The circumstances connected with the demise of Mr. H. are of a nautre well calculated to excite the sympathy of those by whom he was known.
Died of consumption, at Locust Farm, his residence, in the county of Essex, on the morning of Sunday, the 29th ult., Capt. George M. Hundley; (and we must confidently hope, has exchanged this for a better world). He was a kind neighbor, and an indulgent master. He has left a wife, to whom he was fondly devoted.
