    Transcribed by Sue Mackay

    Died at Graham's Town on Thursday 13th instant of an injury received from a vicious cow two days previous, Mr. Alexander KIDWELL, aged 60 years. Deceased was one of the British settlers of 1820 and formed one of the Committee for the Commemoration services recently held at Graham's Town. He had been for many years a widower, but was to have been re-married on the day of his death. For some years he was engaged in a rather extensive retail business at Graham's Town, under the firm of "STONE & KIDWELL", since which he has had to pass through many trying vicissitudes. He was much esteemed by his friends and maintained an unblemished character for integrity. He belonged to the Baptist Church which, together with his family and acquaintances, now have to deplore the loss of a valuable member of their respective circles.

    Mr. A. KIDWELL, of this Town, met his death last week under painful and melancholy circumstances. He had been engaged for some time past in conducting Mr. FORD's butchering establishment in Bathurst-street, and upon his entering the cattle kraal for the purpose of securing a refractory cow, the animal ran at him and gored him severely in the thigh. The unfortunate man lingered for several days, when mortification of the limb ensued and he died last Thursday, on the day on which he was to have been married.
