DEATH OF A FORMER CITIZEN OF HARFORD IN CALIFORNIA- The information reached us last week of the death of Harry O'Brien Gough, Esq., son of the late Harry D. Gough, of this county, in California. Mr. Gough has been suffering from an attack of illness which had left him in a critical condition, but his friends entertained hopes of his final recovery, up to the time of his death, which occurred, suddenly, on the 28th of May last, from congestion of the brain. Mr. Gough left this county for California shortly after the close of the Mexican War, and has resided there ever since, except during the brief interval of a visit to his former home, near this place about a year ago. He was in the __ year of his age. The San Francisco papers thus allude to the deceased: 'Although the deceased has been for some months an invalid, the above announcement will be received with sorrow by many friends who knew him but to love him. He was widely known in this city and throughout the State, having identified himself with the history of the city. He was a native of Harford county, Md., and came to this coast in 1850. Since that time he has lived in this city, taken an active part in public affairs, and has ever been found honorable in all his relations of life and dealings with mankind. He was a true gentleman, an affectionate brother and warm-hearted friend. His heart was as open to generous sentiments as his purse was to needy sufferers. We extend our sympathies to his family in their bereavement.' " Aegis 6-17-1870
