Wednesday, 14th instant, aged 70 years, Mr. James Orr, Merchant.
13 November 1832
On Wednesday the 7th inst. in the 79th year of her age, Sarah, relict of the late James Orr, Esq. of Strabane.
7 April 1835
On Friday last, after a protracted illness which he bore with much resignation, William Orr, Esq, aged 50 years. Seldom, indeed, have we had occasion to record the death of an individual, so generally and deservedly esteemed as Mr Orr. The inhabitants of this town, as a mark of their respect, closed their shops and suspended every kind of business until after the funeral which took place yesterday morning at Ten o’clock. His remains were followed to the grave by all the respectable people in the town and neighbourhood.
Cut off in the prime of life, and midst of usefulness, the removal of Mr Orr will long be felt in Strabane --
His extensive property (particularly in the town) gave him great influence, and that influence he invariably and promptly exercised in promoting every useful and benevolent object. He was an indulgent Landlord, a sincere and unostentatious friend, and his general disposition was characterized by integrity, independence, and generosity.
