Madras Courier 9 Jan 1816
MADRAS DEATHS
On the 2d instant, at St. Thomas's Mount, Mr. Luke Healy, Conductor of Ordnance on this Establishment, aged 45 years, after a lingering and painful illness of six months which he bore with fortitude and resignation, leaving a Wife and seven Children to lament his loss. In his private life he was justly esteemed, and his memory will be long cherished by a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances as a worthy honest man. In his family he was an excellent Husband and Father. The loss of two of his Children, a short time previous to his death afflicted him very much, but God has called him hence, to meet them in another and a better world, we hope and trust to receive the reward of a well spent life, from the hands of a beneficent Creator.
