CLISBY, Col. Joseph
Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 7 March 1885; pg. 7 col. 2
Col. Joseph Clisby, of Macon, who spent most of last summer at Black Banks, on the Island, in quest of health, died last Friday at his residence in Vineville. Col. Clisby, during a long and vigorous manhood, was an able and leading journalist in both Georgia and Florida. A thorough Democrat, he wielded at all times a trenchant pen in defense of his cherished principals [sic]. His greatest desire, for many years, was to be spared to once more live under a Democratic administration, but Moses like, whilst permitted to view the promised land near at hand from the Pisgah of Clevelands elevation, he was called to his fathers just before passing the Jordan of the inaugural. The friends of the family on the Island, send their greetings of sympathy to the bereaved ones at home.
