Joseph Barron, of Logansport, formerly city clerk, died of small-pox in Chicago on Monday last.

Death of Joe Barron
A telegram was received by 'Squire N. B. Barron, of this city, yesterday, announcing the death of his son, Joseph G. Barron, which occurred from small-pox at Chicago yesterday at four o'clock, a. m. Telegrams received last Saturday told of the hopelessness of the case of Mr. Barron and in a manner prepared the winds of his relatives and friends for the worst, yet while there was life his friends hoped against hope, an the announcement that his is dead will fall with the weight of a heavy blow on many hearts.
He was born at Vincennes, Ind., on the 25th of March, 1844, and was, therefore, but thirty-seven years old.
At the breaking out of the war, although but seventeen years old, he enlisted in the Fourteenth Indiana Regiment of Volunteers with which her served until October, 1862, when he was transferred to the Fourth United States Artillery. At the battle of Chancellorsville, in May, 1863, he was shot down in the thickest of the fight.
His name appeared among the list of killed, and in later years Mr. Barron exhibited as a memento a letter written by a comrade to his parents in this city, telling of his death and how he fell in the front rank with his face to the foe. He was not killed, but desperately wounded, and when he came forth from the hospital the loss of his right leg testified to his bravery and devotion to the Union.
He was no longer fit for duty at the front, but his interest in the great conflict never flagged, and he received an appointment in the Quartermaster's department which he retained until the final surrender at Appomatox. [sic]
After the war, deceased came to this city. He was one of the most popular young men of his day, and in 1875 was elected City Clerk, running as an independent. He was re-elected in 1877. Being an accomplished accountant and book-keeper, he made the best City Clerk that Logansport ever had, and his official record is without a blot. Since last spring he has held a position in the office of the County Clerk at Chicago, and has been a residence [sic] of that city since.
He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and upon the organization of Post 14 of this city, he was elected Post Commander.
Deceased leaves a wife and two children at Royal Center. The virulent type of his disease forbade the kind ministration of wife, parents or friends, during his last hours. The same reasons force the harsh edit that he must be buried among strangers. The funeral will take place at Chicago to-day.
