| 5474 | South Danville. Ravages of tuberculosis after illness of long time. Suffering nearly two years with consumption, John R. Gritton, well known resident of South Danville, died at his home 110 West Third street at 10:30 o'clock Thursday morning, Oct. 15, 1914. Mr. Gritton was born in Blount township Jan. 2, 1861, being 53 years of age at his death. He was reared on a farm and for many years was a farmer, coming to this city several years ago. He gradually became unable to work regularly, each year brining him gradually nearer the time when he was entirely too weak to perform any kind of work, this being about two years ago. His wife died several years ago following a long illness. He is survived by two sons, Ernest and Ross and a daughter, Miss Grace Gritton. The funeral will be held from the home, 110 West Third street, South Danville, at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges.

| 5475 | Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements & Rosters Pension application of John Gritton S13203 fn36PA/VA Transcribed by Will Graves 10/2/11 [Methodology: Spelling, punctuation and/or grammar have been corrected in some instances for ease of reading and to facilitate searches of the database. Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. Only materials pertinent to the military service of the veteran and to contemporary events have been transcribed. Affidavits that provide additional information on these events are included and genealogical information is abstracted, while standard, 'boilerplate' affidavits and attestations related solely to the application, and later nineteenth and twentieth century research requests for information have been omitted. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading fails to catch all misinterpretations. Also, dates or numbers which the software treats as numerals rather than words are not corrected: for example, the software transcribes "the eighth of June one thousand eighty six" as "the 8th of June 1786." Please call errors or omissions to my attention.] State of Kentucky Mercer County viz.: On this 3rd day of December 1832 personally appeared in open court before the Justices of the County Court of Mercer now sitting John Gritton a resident citizen of said County & state aged 76 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed the 7th day of June 1832, That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated - viz.: I John Griffin do hereby state on oath in answer to the several interrogatories put by the court according to the direction of the War Department, That I was born in the town of Winchester & State of Virginia in the year 1755 as I my parents informed me, and my parents removed to West Moreland County Pennsylvania when I was about fifteen years of age and I lived on the Youghegany River [Youghiogheny River] in that state when I was called into service of my country as follows, in the month of May 1775 I was drafted in Captain John Rice's Company of Colonel Broadhead's Regiment for four months and was marched to a place six miles above what was called the Turkey foot settlement and built a Fort called Hoagland Fort where I was stationed until my time expired which was four months and I was honorably discharged.

| 5488 | Taps Is Sounded For J.C. Clipson, Civil War Veteran Well know Okmulgeean is found dead in bed Death shock friends Mr. Clipson was life-long member of the Methodist Church and belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic and was commander of Okmulgee Post. John Clarence Clipson, age 81 years, Civil war veteran and widely known resident of Okmulgee, died suddenly Friday night at his home, 618 South Seminole avenue. Mr. Clipson’s death was unexpected and came as a shock to his family and a wide circle of friends. He retired Friday night in his usual good health, except that he complained he was suffering from a severe headache. Early yesterday morning he was found dead in his bed by Mrs. Clipson. Death was due, it is believed, to an attack of heart disease. He was born in London, England, April 10, 1943, and with his parents came to this country when he was 10 years of age. His family took up their residence on a farm three miles from Catlin, Ill., which is located eight miles from Danville, Ill. Mr. Clipson enlisted in the Union army during the Civil war and spent three years in the service. He was attached to the 125th Illinois Infantry, and served as a scout throughout his enlistment. While with General Sherman’s forces in the South, he was wounded, near the close of the war. Went to Iowa in 1882 After the Civil war, Mr. Clipson returned to Catlin and several years later went to Chicago, where he was employed as a foreman for a number of years by the Pullman Car company. After the death of his first wife in Chicago he removed to Clarinda, Iowa, in 1881, and engaged in business as a building contractor. He followed this business until the time of his death, although he has not been active in business for the past several years. He was married at Clarinda, Iowa, in 1883, to Maggie Hutchings, who survives him. A short time after he came to Okmulgee, Mr. Clipson and his son, Perry C. Clipson, established the Model Clothing store and which his son managed for several years. Acquainted with Lincoln Mr. Clipson during his residence near Danville, Ill., in the days prior to the Civil war, became well acquainted with Abraham Lincoln, who later became president, and he frequently entertained his friends with accounts of events in Danville in which President Lincoln, then a young lawyer, was the central figure. He also counted among his acquaintances many other notable men, including a number of the civil and military leaders of Civil war days. Mr. Clipson was a lifelong and active member of the Methodist church. He was an active member of the Grand Army of the Republic and took a keen interest in all that organizations affairs since its formation. At various time he held a number of official positions in the G.A.R. and was Okmulgee post commander at the time of his death. Only a few other members of the G.A.R. survive him in this county. Loved Children Among those who mourn his death sincerely are the children of the neighborhood in which he resided. He loved children and was in turn loved by them. His pockets were seldom, if ever, empty of pennies or candy which he distributed generously to children. Mr. Clipson was one of a family of 13 children. His wife, three sons, Percy C. of Tulsa and Edward, of Chicago; one daughter, Mrs. W.L. Simmons of Tulsa, and three brothers, Albert, Richard, and Harry Clipson of Catlin, survive Mr. Clipson. Funeral services in his memory will be conducted this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the First Christian church by Rev. Fred Mesch. His remains will be taken tomorrow night to Clinda, Iowa, where interment will be made in the Clarinda cemetery beside the graves of two of his children. Okmulgee Daily Democrat, Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

| 5492 | Text taken from Full Text of History of Vermillion County Illinois (1911): "He brought his wife and four children with him. He built his cabin on section 36, near to his brother-in-law. So provident a man had every reason to expect fortune to smile on him, but this was not the case, however. During the first winter in their new home he had a trivial injury to his heel, which resisted all treatment and he was assured that cancer had developed. A trip back to their old home in Palestine, where there was a physician living was of no avail, because the idea of cancer was confirmed and there was great danger of having to loose his foot. However, he could not raise the money demanded for the operation and he came back to his new home discouraged and almost despondent. There was an old Indian doctor, called Bonaparte's Indian, who lived about there, and for the want of any more skilled practitioner, Mrs. Starr consulted him. By the use of some herbs he collected along the Vermilion river, he cured the diseased heel which the physician at Palestine thought could be reached only by the use of the knife. Mrs. Starr nursed her husband back to strength, at the same time tending her garden and two acres of corn. Henry Johnson's kind heart helped this family to take care of themselves during these hard days. Mr. Starr lived until October 14, 1829. He was buried in the old burying ground, now known as Mt. Pisgah cemetery, near Georgetown. Mrs. Starr survived her husband and afterward became the wife of Mr. Jones, spending her last years on the farm she first helped get into cultivation.
