The late General Viscount Templetown, G.C.B., 1890. Portrait from a photograph by Messrs. Maull and Fox. 'The Right Hon. George Frederick, third Viscount Templetown, a Representative Peer for Ireland, Colonel of the 2nd Life Guards, and Colonel-Commandant 2nd Battalion 60th Foot, died at San Remo on Jan. 4. He was born Aug. 5, 1802, the second son of John Henry, first Viscount Templetown, by Mary, his wife, only daughter of the fifth Earl of Sandwich, and succeeded to the peerage at the death of his elder brother, March 28, 1863. He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford, and, adopting the military service, gained distinction in it. He was successively Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel Coldstream Guards, Major-General and Colonel-Commandant 60th Rifles, and retired in 1877. He served in the Crimean campaign, was wounded, and mentioned in despatches. He sat in the House of Commons as member for the county of Antrim 1859 to 1863. His Lordship...leaves no issue, the peerage devolving on his nephew, Henry Edward Montagu Dorington Clotworthy Upton, now fourth Viscount Templetown. The late Peer was a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, an officer of the Legion of Honour, and Knight of the Medjidieh'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
