Miscellaneous
Jun 21, p. 2: col. 3, “The Cholera”; and col. 5, “The Cholera” and the notice at the bottom of the column: Outbreaks of cholera in other cities are described. Some tips are provided for dealing with infected persons. “At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of the Second Ward, at the City Hall, on Tuesday evening the 19th inst. … a committee of ten was chosen to nominate suitable committees for the Second Ward… to prevent the introduction of disease into the city … The following persons were… nominated … and accepted by the meeting … John Van Keuren.

Death
Albany Evening Journal“Mr. John Van Kuren, of Van Schaick st, was taken with Cholera, last night and died this forenoon. Mr. Van Kuren was a strictly temperate, correct man, and useful citizen. He attended Church yesterday afternoon. He had been affected with diarrhoea for nearly a week, but as he was subject to bowel complaints, we understand that he did not take the proper precautions to check it."
Also other stories about the epidemic."
And other stories about the epidemic.
Burial
Date of burial in son-in-law Peter Mann's plot in Menands is unknown and might have been long after death, because his daughter Emma was only two years old in 1832.According to [ https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/92561103 ] : Following a resolution in 1866 by the Albany Common Council, many remains were disinterred and moved to Albany Rural Cemetery for reburial. A list of the inscriptions was created, divided by church group. ... citing Proceedings of the Common Council and the Various Religious Corporations of the City of Albany Relative to the State Street Burial Grounds, Albany, NY Common Council through archive.org
