Final rites were held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the Foster funeral home for Clinton S. IRVINE, 90, veteran boat landing operator at Lake Manitou who succumbed to a heart attack Saturday morning. Services were in charge of the Rev. C. T. HOWELL and burial was made in Reichter cemetery. The lifeless body of the deceased was found in a row boat about 10:30 Saturday morning by Paul ROCKWELL who notified Sheriff Frank SUMMERS and Coroner D. K. STINSON. Death was ascribed to heart failure. Irvine, who was born on a farm near Talma on March 31, 1855, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Decatur IRVINE. His wife, the former Sarah RICKLE preceded him in death in 1929. "Clint" as he was known to local and visiting sportsmen operated a boat landing where he lived near the dam at the outlet of Lake Manitou for many years. Last season, because of advancing age he gave up his business and went to reside with a daughter, Mrs. Olive Krom,1005, Monroe street. On Saturday morning he had gone to the lake, apparently to prepare his row boat, beached in front of the cottage owned by Mrs. Nellie TEODORESCU, just south of the Dam landing hotel, for the winter season. It was evident that he had started bailing water from the boat when the attack came, throwing him face downward into the water. In early life he engaged in the carpenter trade. He attended the Presbyterian church in this city. He was active throughout life, walking the two miles from his daughter's home to the lake and back almost every day. Surviving are son Ernest IRVINE; two daughters, Mrs. Walter McCALL and Mrs. [Olive] KROM of this city; eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Two sons preceded him in death.
