MASTER ISAAC WAYNE HUGHES.
-- It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Master Isaac Wayne, the only [remaining] son of our esteemed townsman Maj. John Hughes, which lamentable occurrence took place at 11 o’clock a. m. on Monday last, the funeral being held the following day.
We knew the little lad well, and he possessed winning and attractive manners which, united to a pretty and engaging appearance, made him one of the most lovable of children.
Grieving as we do sincerely at his almost sudden and unlooked for taking off, we can readily appreciate the poignant anguish of his bereaved parents whose almost idol he was, filling as he did in large measure, the great void in their hearts occasioned by the untimely and lamentable death of his gallant elder brother John [#15775359], on the occasion of the storm at Beaufort.
The affliction is a sad one, and we can offer no other consolation to the bereaved household, than the assurance that their grief is earnestly shared by every one whose fortunate it was to know the boy, who now, in angelic form, is with his God.
