Obituary
Died At Cantonment Gibson on the last day of Dec. 1831, of Pneumonia Synochoides
Gen. John Nicks Sutler for the 7th Infantry, in the 50th year of his age, after an illness of ten day's duration. Gen. Nicks was born in the State of North Carolina. At the augmentation of the Army in 1808, he entered the military service, with the rank of Captain and left with that of Lt. Col. at the reduction in 1821. From that time till his decease, he held the appt. of Sutler to the 7th Reg on the Ark. river, during which period he also some times represented the people of Ark. in the Territorial Legislature. Into whatever relation he entered, whether that of citizen, legislator , or soldier, Gen. N. always carried with him talents adequate to the discharge of his duties, and an energy of character which impelled to their immediate execution. His mind, rather of a brilliant order, was above the usual standard of intellect, but the strongest and most admirable trait of his character, was that of a fixed and unbending integrity. His loss will long be a subject of regret in this community, and his departure hence to be no more here, deeply lamented by his surviving and afflicted family.
His remains were interred the day after his decease, with honors due his former military rank, and the service appointed for the Protestant Episcopal Church, for the burial of the dead, was read at his grave.
