Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his home in this city Dr. Isaiah Clifton Dye, departed this life after an illness of two weeks resulting from a heat stroke. He would have been 69 years old had he lived until Sept. 9.
He was born in this county near Joyce where he lived until the war broke out. He enlisted in Co. A. 1st Ky. Cavalry July 19, 1861 and served until Aug. 11, 1864. Nov. 14, 1863 he was captured at Rockford, Tenn. and kept as a prisoner of war in different places in the south before he was exchanged Aug. 11, 1864.
His history of his treatment while a prisoner is vividly related on pages 488-494 in the History of the First Kentucky Cavalry.
June 20, 1867 he married Miss Nancy Wesley of the Bethelridge section, who still survives him.
Only two children were born to this union, one dying in infancy. The other W. T. Dye, of Middleburg survives. He began the study of medicine, in 1869 while living in Indiana and after attending lectures in Louisville, he graduated and practiced there and in this county until 1894, when he was elected County Clerk of this county. He served two terms as County Clerk and 4 years as deputy Clerk under Simon Wesley, which made him acquainted with every business man in the county.
When a young man he joined the Odd Fellows and Masons and was a devoted member of the lodge here until his death. He had been a member of the Methodist church since his young manhood. For the last seven years he had been a teacher of the Men's Bible Class in the Christian Sunday school here.
