Peter LOTT, formerly Judge of the 5th judicial circuit in the State, and for neat twenty years a resident of this city. Judge LOTT was born in the 19th day of March, 1811, at Pemberton, New Jersey, graduated at Princeton College in the year 1829, was married to Miss Elizabeth W. HYER, June 18, 1832. He emigrated West and settled in this place in the year 1835, and continued to reside here until about the year 1854, when he went to California. After spending several years there he returned to this place. He always loved Quincy, and his final separation from it and the comfortable home he had here erected, was, perhaps, the hardest struggle of his life. He sieved in the Mexican war as a Captain in BISSELL's famous regiment, and was in the battle of Buena Vista; After the war he was elected to the very lucrative and responsible position of clerk of the circuit court of Adams County, and held that office for the term of four years. He held at different periods of his life, various responsible and honorable public offices. That of Judge, clerk of the circuit court, Captain on the Mexican war, and superintendent of the United States mint in San Francisco; or if not superintendent an office of the next grade. And lastly, though he had been a life-long Democrat and devoted follower and friend of Mr.. DOUGLAS, he was appointed by President LINCOLN Consul to Tebuantepec, where he died of congestion of the bowels; and, up to his death, was in the full discharge of the duties of his responsible office. He was accompanied to the place of his late charge by his devoted wife, who was near him to the last. She writes to a friend that, "at ten minutes before 5 o'clock his spirit returned to God, who gave it, and I have a satisfactory hope that he rests in peace. **** I knew his penitence, his faith, and hope. I knew he was in the habit of faithful, fervent prayer.****Gov. AROMDINIO interested himself in procuring his interment, and took charge of the arrangements. All the civil authorities and beat citizens attended the funeral. Thus has departed another of our old time friends and acquaintances-- how long believed among us-- how much he was loved by his old time friends and associated, all here know.-- It is not our province to speak of his faults, whatever they may have been, for none are without faults. Judge LOTT was a man of very great ability-- as a public speaker, in voice, manner and gesture, and in the correctness of his language, he had few superiors in this State. As a reader, he was preeminent in this part of the country. His taste in literature, and his appreciation of poetry, was of the highest order. His many friends will long remember him-- his enemies, if any he had, may forget him if they choose. Few men that ever lived among them, who were so prominent. has fewer enemies.

The Daily Whig Republican Newspaper, Quincy, Illinois, March 24, 1858, Page 2 -- James H. LUCE---died-- On the 20th of march, in consequence of the accidental discharge of his gun, Mr. James H. LUCE, a native of Ohio, aged 45 years. He had joined a party of his friends and acquaintances in an excursion to a point about twenty miles from the city, and with a portion of the party was returning, stopping occasionally at places favorable for shooting. It was upon one of these occasions that the accident happened. He lived about thirty minutes, conscious of his approaching end, and expressing regret at leaving his friends so suddenly. Though distant from relatives, he died, as it were, in the arms of a most intimate friend. In the death of Mr. LUCE, Quincy has lost one of its best citizens. He came to Quincy in 1835, and by industry and economy had accumulated a competence, as well as by his unassuming modesty, his correct deportment and strict honesty, he had commanded the respect and esteem of the community, and the love of his most intimate acquaintances. His disposition was mild and amiable, his friendship sincere, his disapproval of the improper tastes habits or character of those whom he chanced to associate was frankly and freely expressed to them alone. He avoided the society of the vicious and dealt only with the honest, in the manner manifesting his appreciation of virtue. he was a true Mason, having been for many years a member of Bodley Lodge No. 1, and for several years its master. The esteem by which he was held by the fraternity was manifested at his Masonic funeral, and the respect of the community was amply exhibited by a concourse of nearly three thousand citizens. His brethren will miss him--they knew him well. An early member of Fire Co. No. 1, he was always prompt and cheerful in the performance of all his duties. The several fire companies turned out in full force to show their appreciation of his promptness and efficiency. No more will the alarm of fire arouse him-- no more the calls of a distressed brother find relief from his hands-- no more can the widow and orphan look to him for assistance or advice. He rests in peace. *** More about this Accident The Daily Whig Republican Newspaper, Quincy, Illinois, March 24, 1858, page 3.
