DEATH OF BASIL CLEVINGER
We are pained to record the death of Basil Clevinger of Tippecanoe township. He has been complaining all winter. About a week ago he left the old homestead and went to his son David's near at hand and died at two o'clock this morning. He was ninety-one years of age.
He came to the Wabash from Ohio in 1830. He entered the land where he lived. He was universally esteemed as a good citizen.
The funeral will take place from the Liberty Chapel on the Clevinger farm at 11 a.m. tomorrow, Rev. J.H. Hull officiating.
It is a remarkable fact that no less than seven persons have been buried from David Clevinger's house within a single year. Five children, a grandson, and now the venerable patriarch and pioneer follows that bourne from which no traveler returns.
