An Old Veteran Gone
It is with regret that we are called upon to report the death of another old veteran in the person of Peter Doxtater, who expired yesterday morning at his residence in Adams at the ripe old age of eighty-three years. It was hoped that, being a man of vigorous constitution, he might yet be spared to his many friends for several years, but lately a rapid change was perceptible, which has finally ended in the loss we are pained to report. For many years Mr. Doxtater has truthfully borne the honorable sobriquet of the “Wheel Horse” of the Democracy, and in him the party in Jefferson county has lost an honest, staunch supporter and an efficient worker. As an honest politician, a worthy citizen, an agreeable neighbor, and a warm friend, his loss will not only be felt in his immediate neighborhood, but throughout the entire community at large. His funeral will take place at one o'clock this afternoon, and will be attended by a large delegation from Watertown, a special train for whose accommodation will leave the depot this morning at 10:20 for Adams. Thus has peacefully passed away another of the old pioneers whose loss will be felt by many, and, excepting his friend and relatives, by none more than his party press, which he has often laid under lasting obligations. Especially will this be the case with the New York world, of which he has ever been an ardent supporter and an old and valued subscriber. Peace to his dust.
