CROSSED THE RIVER
Clement L. Barron passed away this morning at 5 o'clock at the home of his daughter on 3d street, as peacefully and quietly as a weary sojourner wraps himself into the hands of morpheus. There was no disease about him. His pulse and temperature were normal. His mind was clear to the last. It was a clear case of old age. The tabernacle was worn out. He had fulfilled his mission. His time and expired and he joined his companions on the other side, where his troubles cease. He was a native of England, his parents moving and settling at St.Joseeh[sic] about 1837. The family moved to this place about 1841, and his father was a practising physician. Mr. Barron was for a long time clerk in a dry goods store and afterwards carried on a mercantile store himself. He has filled the office of Justice of the peace in this city for 20 years with great satisfaction and strict integrity. It seems every one was his friend. He was ever a natural gentleman, a genial and kind companion in the field of sport. He has mourned the loss of his loved companion for seven years or more. He married her in England in 1847.
Mr. Barron has been all his life collecting a museum and he has relics and a thousand valuable articles which would adorn any museum in our country. He has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Weatherby, since he lost his wife. No man will be more missed in this community than Esquire Barron. Had he lived until Oct. 14 next, he would have been 81 years old.
