Colonial
Times Hobart, Tas.
9 April
1844
DIED.—At
Kante, Madras Presidency, on the 15th September, Lieutenant Wrixon, of the 21st
Fusiliers, son of Captain Nicholas Wrixon, Cork, in the 22nd year of his age.
He died of
fever.
The feeling
of regret and sorrow for his premature decease is universal through the regiment,
and is painfully felt by all his brother officers, by whom he was held in the
highest estimation for his manly virtues, and estimable qualities.
He was buried
with military honours, and his funeral was attended to the grave by the
Brigadier and all the officers of the large force there stationed.
He was borne
to his last home, at their own particular request, by the soldiers of the
company formerly commanded by his father, accompanied by those of his own.
