Obituary
I have to record the death of Mr. James Sheather, a very old and respected resident of Camden, who had nearly completed his 87th year. He was engaged in England, and came out with the late Sir James M'Arthur in the ship Royal George in year 1839, and has resided in Camden over 40 years. He leaves a large family of eight sons, two daughters, 67 grandchildren, and 44 great grandchildren, making a total of 121 descendants. His remains were followed to the Church of England cemetery by many friends and townspeople on the 19th instant.
