On Monday night, 21st instant, after a lingering illness, Gen. Isaac Sandford, aged about 57 years. Gen. Sandford was among the early settlers of this section of Illinois. He possessed great energy of character, by which he accumulated a large amount of property. But his energy was not all spent upon his own private affairs. Much of it was devoted to the advancement of the public interests – especially upon internal improvements. Added to his energy of character, he was social in his intercourse with society, and bland in his manners. Though not a brilliant scholar, and remarkably plain and unostentatious in his manner, he was respected by all who came in contact with him, and his more intimate acquaintances loved him. He had been for many years a member of the M. E. Church. His death leaves a deep gloom in the community, which can not soon pass away. It is hoped some one intimately acquainted with his life will prepare a more extended notice for our columns.
