CLINTON HEMINGWAY
(from June 25,1898 article of FARM IMPLEMENT MAGAZINE)
Clinton Hemingway of Minneapolis died Monday afternoon, June 6, at his home, 137 East Fiftieth Street, of heart failure, after an illness of about two hours.
Mr. Hemingway was born at Rosendale, Wis., Feb. 24th, 1851, and was consequently but little over 47 years old at the time of his death. At the age of 21 he removed to Kasson, Minn. where he entered the employ of D. O. Brewer in the implement business. He remained with Mr. Brewer until 1882, removing at that time to Rochester, Minn., where he engaged as salesman with A. D. Vedder. He remained with Mr.Vedder for six years, and then entered the employ of The J. I. Case Implement company, Minneapolis, remaining with them until the time of his death. He was married June 3, 1896 to Miss Carrie B. Dickson of Minneapolis, who survives him.
Mr. Hemingway was held in high esteem by his employers and during the year 1897 he filled the office of secretary of the corporation, resigning Jan. 1, 1898 to resume his position as traveling salesman. His death came very suddenly. He was at the office of the company in the afternoon, leaving to consult a physician with reference to a slight indisposition which had been troubling him for a couple of days. The physician assured him that nothing serious threatened, but advised him to return home and rest. He found himself completely exhausted by the time he reached home, and was assisted to his room, where he died about two hours later. He is sadly missed by his associates as well as his employers.
The following tribute from a fellow traveler, and one who had known Mr. Hemingway for many years, will be heartily endorsed by the other members of the brotherhood, among whom his worth and excellence were universally recognized:
"I learn that Clinton Hemingway,of Minneapolis, has made his last trip and been 'called in' to join 'The Great Majority.' As a friend and fellow traveling man I wish to pay a last sad tribute to the sterling worth and natural nobility of this, our friend who has been so suddenly summoned.
"A quiet, unobtrusive man, he was yet a persistent worker, and a conscientious salesman: an honest, honorable competitor. All those with whom he had business relations were wont to say, 'Clint's word is a guarantee: what he says can be depended on.' No one in the ranks of traveling men stood higher in the estimation of his customers and competitors. All were his friends: and no one could have been taken who would have been missed more, or whose loss would have been more sincerely regretted. He came to the city some years ago,an unknown boy, from southern Minnesota, traveled some time for Lindsay Bros,,then changed to The J. I. Case Implement company, representing them in northern Minnesota. Gaining and improving himself, he contributed in no small degree to the growth and success of his firm. During 1897 he held the trustful position of secretary of the company, but prefering his old position, went back 'on the road' the first of the current year. As a true friend, a kind and loving husband, son and brother, few men are his equal. His employers will find it hard to fill his place. How much he will be missed, and how sincerely mourned, none will realize but his intimate friends and those of his home circle. I can assure his bereaved ones, the quiet, kindly sympathy of every traveling man."
Note from Shirley Hemingway: Clinton's parents were Josiah and Elizabeth Lawrence Hemingway. Siblings: Mary(Conrad) Getman, Joseph, Calvin, Caroline (Porter) Sheldon, Aaron, Sarah Jane (John) Stout, George and Rilla (Newell) Crittenden.
