Obituary:Written by John Gayles, then editor of the NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, of Washington, DC
"On Friday the 31st ult., at the residence of his brother , Col Orr, Mayor of the city of Washington, after some weeks of severe suffering, Dr John Dalrymple Orr, of Frederick Co, aged forty-four years. The character of Dr Orr, as a gentleman and philanthropist, is too well known to require our testimony. Having perfected in Scotland, the education of which the foundation was laid in this his native country, he practiced medicine for several years in Alexandria; but relinquished it after his removal over the Blue Ridge, and devoted himself to the calls of society, the education of his children, and the cultivation of his farm. The disease which deprived his children of an affectionate parent, his friends of a beloved and respected associate, had preyed upon his health for several years and at length triumphed over the best medical and surgical care."
