James GRAHAM Esq in the 75th year of his age: Died suddenly at Hornbank, Govanroad, Glasgow on the 18th March 1850.
The Late Mr. GRAHAM of Hornbank
In our obituary of today we observe the name of James GRAHAM Esq of Hornbank, one of our oldest and most valued citizens. Mr. GRAHAM settled in Glasgow in 1793 and commenced business at the beginning of the present century. During the thirty years in which he was thus engaged he maintained a high character for uprightness and integrity; but his activity took a wider range of usefulness. For a series of years he was connected with the Incorporation and Town Council, and he filled successively the important offices of Magistrate of the River, Chief Magistrate of the Gorbals, and a Magistrate of the City. He was also the first convenor of the Trades House, elected under the Burgh Reform Act. Having thus passed through a long and honourable career, Mr GRAHAM about fifteen years ago withdrew himself from active labours and spent the remainder of his days in that tranquillity and retirement to which a life of industry and usefulness so well entitled him. Indeed few of our fellow citizens have ever passed from among us enjoying more of the confidence and esteem of their fellow men, and more widely and sincerely lamented.
