Joseph Clinton
Aug 26,1832-Sept 20,1912

Death of J. S. Clinton.

J.S. Clinton died at the home of his son Charles Clinton, at 4 o'clock this morning after a short illness. For a number of years Mr. Clinton had been suffering with stomach trouble and ailments customary to advanced years, but his condition was not considered serious until Saturday evening. Shortly after retiring his condition became more serious and from that time he grew gradually weaker and and for several days no hope for his recovery was held out by the attending physician. Early this morning he fell into a deep sleep during which he peacefully passed away. Mr. Clinton came here in 1886 and was one of the most respected citizens of the city, and during his residence always took an active part in the betterment of local conditions. For a number of years he lived on his ranch near the city, and later was employed in the local shops. For five years his health had been such that he was unable to engage in active employment and he divided his time with his sons in different cities, hoping to be benefitted by the change of climate. Mr. Clinton was eighty years of age. He was born at New Haven, Conn., and after his marriage moved to Grand Rapids, Mich., and later about ten years ago, he became a resident of Denver until the death of his wife when he returned to this city to make it his home. To mourn him are left two sons, Charles S. Clinton of this city, and Ben Clinton, of St. Paul, Nebr. The funeral will be held from the Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
