Philadelphia Saturday Courier 25 May 1839 Deaths

Glancing at old death notices can entice one to earn more about American history.  Take, for instance, the find in today's transcription from the 25 May 1839 issue of the Philadelphia Saturday Courier.  

Just the name Cadwallader R Colden sounds interesting.  I mean, have you ever known anyone with that name?  I haven't, and I have never heard of the "Whip."

Just doing a quick search, revelations on the good Cadwallader can be told.  He was indeed a writer in New York on horse racing and pedigree horses.  In fact, he was considered quite good at it.  He had lived in England and loved to write about English racing. However, his outspoken ways led to troubles in the publication.  Shortly before his death, he was the editor of the "The Whip", although he only lived long enough for one issue to be released.
