DIED, 24th September at Judge Martins' on Coosawatie, in the 28th year
of his age, GEORGE W. M'GHEE, Professor of Mathematics in the University of
Georgia. Mr. M'Gehee received his appointment in August, and with his
family, was returning from Pulaski, Tennessee, where he formerly resided; to
take up his permanent residence in Athens. He was attacked with violent
fever in the Cherokee nation; to which, was subsequently added jaundice.
Medical assistance was procured from Athens, on the eighth or ninth day of his
sickness, but arrived too late to be effectual. He has left an amiable
and interesting widow, and orphan son, to mourn his loss; and a large circle
of friends, wherever he has been known to bear testimony to his many virtues.
