Date Death
Jul 3 1787 DEATH – At Rathmullen, on Thursday se’nnight, after a few hours illness, George Knox, Esq., of Prehen [Co. Londonderry]. His remains were interred on Saturday in the family vault, attended by a considerable number of gentlemen, and a vast concourse of his tenantry. The dejection and regret which prevailed for the loss of so respectable a citizen, were universal – the sufferings of his nearer relations can only be conceived. A most affectionate and tender wife deplores his life with anguish; whilst his children who had ever experienced from him the most tender endearments of affection, mingle the furrow with her’s. As a landlord, he was humane – as a father indulgent – as a friend, sincere – and as a husband affectionate (Dublin Evening Post)
