B. Clough Yesterday Forenoon, ------- Recent Bronchial Paralysis Precipi- tates Fatal Results. ------- Sketch of the Long Business Career of a Local Pioneer. ------- It will be with inexpressible regret that the community will learn of the death of Judge Lucien B. Clough at his home, 181 Walnut street, at 11 o'clock Sunday fore- noon. While Mr. Clough had been ill for many months, until very recently nothing had been expected and hoped for than ultimate recovery. Last September Mr. Clough suffered an attack of paralysis which confined him to the house for a number of months. Lately, however, his health had so improved that the family and friends hoped for restor- ation to former health and vigor. But bronchial paralysis set in recently, and al- though the most skillful medical care was extended, the judge passed quietly away yesterday forenoon. The deceased was born in Northfield, this state, April 17 1823, and his parents removed to Canterbury the following year. He attended the schools in that town and afterwards engaged in teaching, to a more or less extent in a number of places in --------------------------------------------------- >>Line drawing portrait here<< JUDGE LUCIEN B. CLOUGH. --------------------------------------------------- New England. At one time he taught at the academy in Mont Vernon. In 1847 he went to Dartmouth college and graduated in the class of 1850. He commenced his legal studies with Morrison & Fitch, in this city, and afterwards read law with Raymond & King in Troy, N. Y. He was admitted to the bar in Albany, N. Y., in 1831. In 1853, he came back to Manchester and opened an office in the Union building on Eml street, and for forty-two years his business was transacted at this stand. Mr. Clough's line of legal business has been mostly the settlement of estates. He also made a specialty of probate and real estate cases, avoiding criminal law. The deceased was also confided with many trusts. In 1874 he was the judge of the pro- bate court for two years. He was one of the trustees of the city library at the time of his death, a director in the Amoskeag National bank, and trustee of the Amos- keag Savings bank. He was connected with the Manchester Gas Light company, being clerk, and with the Manchester Opera House company. Besides his law practice, he was en- gaged in the insurance business for years, and at the time of his death has associated with Frank C. Twombly, under the firm name of Clough & Twombly. He was treasurer of the local board of fire under- writers. In 1856, Mr. Clough was united in mar- riage to Marion L. Dole of Augusta, Me., who survives him. Other surviving rela- tives are as follows: One daughter, Mrs. Sherman L. Whipple of Brookine, Mass., and one son, Albert L. Clough of this city; two brothers, A. B. Clough of Canterbury and O. A. Clough of New York city and two sisters, Miss Mary E. Clough of Can- terbury and Mrs. M. C. Emery of Tilton. The deceased attended services at the Grace Episcopal church and was one of the wardens. In politics Mr. Clough was a staunch Democrat and at one time was a candidate for state senator. His business connections were such and the affairs he had constantly in hand demanded so much of his attention that no time could be given to politics. Judge Clough was one in whom the community reposed the widest confidence. His probity in the smallest details of busi- ness was remarkable, and the most con- servative classes placed their business in his hands without the slightest fear of the result. His insight into financial affairs, his years and years of experience in pro- bate matters, and the utmost care he ex- erted for the accounting of all transactions had resulted in his being generally sought after in cases where large real estate mat- ters were to be settled. Reliability and a close watchfulness over all trusts reposed in him, made him invaluable. In the death of Judge Clough the city loses a pioneer, an honest man, and an up- right citizen. ================================ **************************************************************************** * * * * Notice: Printing the files within by non-commercial individuals and libraries is encouraged, as long as all notices and submitter information is included.
