THE CASEY COUNTY NEWS, 1909
Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at his home in this city Dr. Isaiah Clifton Dye 
departed this life after an illness of two weeks resulting from a heat 
stroke.  He would have been 69 years old had he lived until Sept. 9.  He was 
born in this county near Joyce  where he lived til the war broke out.  He 
enlisted in Co. A 1st Kentucky Calvary July 19, 1861  and served until Aug. 
11, 1864.  Nov. 14,1863 he was captured at Rockford, TN and kept as a prisoner 
of war in different places in the South before he was exchanged Aug.11,1864.  
His history of his treatment while a prisoner vividly is related on pages 488-
494 in the History of the First Kentucky Calvary.  June 20,1867 he married 
Miss Nancy Wesly of the Bethelridge section, who still survives him.  Only two 
children were born to this union, one dying in infancy/.  The other W.T. Dye 
of Middleburg survives.  He began the study of medicine in 1869 while living 
in Indiana and after attending the lectures in Louisville, he graduated and 
practiced there and in this county until 1894 when he was elected County Clerk 
of this county.  He served two terms as county clerk and 4 years as deputy 
clerk under Simon Wesley, which made him accquainted with every business man 
in the county.  When a young man he joined the Odd Fellows and Masons and was 
a devoted member of the lodge here until his death.  He had been a member of 
the Methodist church since his young manhood.  For the last seven years he had 
been a teacher of the Mens Bible Class in the Christian sunday school here.  
His remains were carried to Middleburg Tuesday afternoon where Bros. Hart and 
Montgomery conducted an impressive funeral exercise at the Methodist church, 
after which interrment took place in the Middleburg Cemetery by the Masonic 
Fraternity.  Peace to his ashes.
