December 1, 1837 - Died in Monticello, Mr. Sanford A. Street, aged 33 years. His disease was consumption. contracted whilst attached to the American Navy. His mind was vigorous, polished by study, and chastened by refined taste. By much industry and perseverance, he had acquired a knowledge of the English, French, Spanish, and Italian languages, and until prostrated by disease, was eminently fitted for usefulness. He was a poet, and would have excelled in the realms off imagination if ambition had compelled him to win the poet's crown.
