On Monday last departed this life, Samuel Curson, an eminent merchant of this city. The death of this useful citizen was occasioned by a wound he received in a duel with a Mr. Burling, of Baltimore, on the evening of Friday the 21st. instant. The loss of this gentleman is regretted both as a public and private misfortune, as he was a useful and respectable member of society, and was cut off from amongst men in a period of his existence in which he was capable of being more extensively beneficial to his country, to his friends, and to himself. A number of the relatives of the deceased, and a respectable concourse of citizens, last evening attended his funeral to Trinity Church yard, where the body was interred, and where they paid the last debt due to the manes of a departed friend and fellow citizen, robbed of the breath of life in the morning of his days. This was in the New York Packet, Thursday, April 27, 1786
