Advertiser & Appeal; Saturday 7 March 1885; pg. 7 col. 2

[Died 27 February or 6 March 1885?]

Col. Joseph Clisby, of Macon, who spent most of last summer at Black Banks, on 
the Island, in quest of health, died last Friday at his residence in 
Vineville.  Col. Clisby, during a long and vigorous manhood, was an able and 
leading journalist in both Georgia and Florida.  A thorough Democrat, he 
wielded at all times a trenchant pen in defense of his cherished principals 
[sic].  His greatest desire, for many years, was to be spared to once more 
live under a Democratic administration, but Moses like, whilst permitted to 
view the promised land near at hand from the Pisgah of Cleveland’s elevation, 
he was called to his father’s just before passing the Jordan of the 
inaugural.  The friends of the family on the Island, send their greetings of 
sympathy to the bereaved ones at home.
