Obituary.
1816 Dec 30 Died on 2 instant in the 83 year of this age, Joseph Wharton, Esq. long a respectable inhabitant to this city & deeply & sincerely lamented by those who enjoyed the advantage of his friendship the protracted term of line & the lingering illness through which this gentleman had passed, had neither impaired the original vigor of his mind, nor lessen the uncomfortable, man warmth of his affections His understanding, naturally quick, powerful was improved to an extent little common with the past generation. Free men perhaps poised such an intimate acquaintance with the language & literate of Greece & Rose & still fewer have retained an undiminished attachment to them, at an advanced sate of existence & while suffering under an accumulation of physical evil.
In the early part of his life he had enjoyed the peculiar good fortune with the most celebrated literary men of Europe. In latter years disease & misfortune caused his retirement forte world but lessened not his zen for the welfare of society, his duties toward which he discharged with exemplary propriety. It only remains perhaps to add that he was a sincere & devout believer in the great truthers of our religion & closed a well spent life in the firm persuasion of a removal to a better state of being..
