Former Postmaster Succumbs After Long Illness
Joel C. Clore Was Retired Bank President
Leader In Masonic Order Widely-Known In Ohio
Joel C. Clore, former Postmaster of Cincinnati and former president of the Washington Bank and Savings Company, died at his home, Claudia Apartments, Dana Avenue, Avondale, yesterday afternoon following an illness of five months. Death was attributed to heart disease. He was 66 years old.
Ill health forced Mr. Clore to retire last October from active service in the Washington Bank and as president of the Cincinnati Finance Company, of which he was one of the organizers. At his own request he wa not re-elected and Arthur Nash was chosen as his successor. Mr. Clore was elected the first president of the Washington Bank when it was organized in 1917.
Mr. Clore was born in Boone County, Kentucky, where his parents were recognized as one of the leading families of that section of the state. The family home handed down from one generation to another was retained by Mr. Clore even when he came to Cincinnati, and was used each year as a summer home.
A thirty-third degree Mason, he had taken a prominent part in civic and fraternal affairs for many years. His work, both in Cincinnati and state Masonic work, carried him to the highest offices that the order could offer him.
Mr. Clore served in the Grand Lodge of the State of Ohio for four years and was elected Grand Master in 1917. His work in local Masonic circles included the following offices: Master of Lafayette Lodge, 1891; High Priest of the Cincinnati Chapter, 1907; a member of the Cincinnati Masonic Council; Eminent Commander of Cincinnati Commandery No. 1, 1897; Most Wise Master, Rose Croix Degrees from 1899 to 1910; Potentate of the Cincinnati Shrine, 1906; created a thirty-third degree Mason in 1905; Commander-in-chief, Scottish Rite, 1910 to 1916; elected president of the Past Masters' Association of Cincinnati last year.
Mr. Clore was appointed Postmaster by President Wilson and served six years in that office, from January 1916 to February 28, 1922. He was active in Democratic political affairs of the city throughout the latter part of his life.
Until his death, he retained an interest in the law firm of Clore, Schwab & McCaslin, Provident Bank Building. He was active in his law practice, however, only up to six years ago, when he retired from service. He was a member of the Business Men's Club and the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Clore is survived by his widow, whom he married 15 years ago, and two stepchildren, Edith and Walter Mendenhall, who resided with him.
One child was born of their marriage, a son. His death, four years ago, seemed to affect Mr. Clore profoundly.
Funeral arrangements had not been made late last night, but friends stated that the body probably would be taken to the family home in Kentucky for burial.
