Civil War Soldier With Ties to Williams Co, OH - Clifton, John W

Civil War Soldier With Ties to Williams Co, OH - John W. Clifton

By Pamela Pattison Lash (2011)

Here is an example of a man who served three times during the Civil War, according to his obituary.  James A. Clifton had ties to Williams Co, OH.  His parents were Joseph and Mary Ann Kenmer/Kenner/Kinear Clifton.  Also interesting was the spelling of the surname seems to be Clifton with one f.

Joseph Clifton (8 Aug 1810, Delaware – 17 Oct 1879, Williams Co, OH, Deaths V2 p1) married Mary Ann Kenmer, 12 July 1835, Pickaway Co, OH; Mary Ann Kenmer, daughter of Adam Kenmer, was born in Loudoun Co, VA on 8 July 1818; she died in Jefferson Twp, Williams Co, OH on 8 May 1910.  Joseph Clifton died of heart disease.

Their children were as follows:

1. John W. Clifton (21 Sept 1836, Jefferson, Pickaway Co, OH – 3 Feb 1909, Montpelier, Williams Co, OH; mar Mary Ann Canaga, 1 Apr 1869, Williams Co, OH Marriage V4 p54

Here is the obituary online of James A. Clifton:

STEUBEN REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1904, page 3, columns 6, 7

JAMES A. CLIFTON, 11 Feb 1843 - 26 May 1904

The subject of this sketch, James A. Clifton, was born Feb. 11, 1843,

at Thornville, Perry County, Ohio, where he spent the days of his boyhood

and young manhood beneath the parental roof until in the month of May,

1862, when at the age of nineteen, he enlisted in Company D, 85th regiment

of Ohio, Volunteer Infantry.  He served with this regiment in the great

struggle of the southern rebellion for two years and was honorably

discharged from same in 1864.  Soon after this discharge he again re-

enlisted in the 131st Ohio National Guards, and served in this regiment the

full time of enlistment which was one hundred days and again was honorably

discharged.  Still again the young soldier answered his country's call for

more soldiers, this time re-enlisting in the 121st regiment of Ohio

Volunteer Infantry.  With this regiment he served until the close of the

Rebellion in summer of 1865, and was for the third time honorably

discharged from military service. 

In 1868, three years after the close of the Civil War, Mr. Clifton came

to Angola, Ind., and a year later he took a permanent residence at Orland,

Steuben County, Ind., where he resided for fourteen years.  On October 26,

1870, Mr. Clifton was married to Miss Jennie Bansill, of Jonesville,

Mich., a happy genial union, which endured for more than thirty-three

years, a union broken only by his death May 26, 1904.

In the year 1883, Mr. Clifton and wife became residents of Auburn,

Ind., and there during the last two decades of his life he won an enviable

reputation for honest, manly worth and sterling integrity.  His friendship

was as warm and unfailing as the genial rays of an effulgent sun.  His

kindness and gentleness were like unto the silvery sheen of the beautiful

Orb of night.  His sympathy was as spontaneous and tender as sympathy of

the little children he so dearly loved.  His nature was sensitive almost

to a fault.  His political opinions and religious faith might be

illuminated by referring to the opinions of his illustrious prototype,

Thomas Jefferson, whose life and whose character both private and

political, he so highly revered.

His private life was pure, candid, honest, devoid of cant, hypocrisy

and ostentation, and was therefore worthy of our emulation.  Those who

were associated with him in business and who knew him well, speak highly

of his personal honor and all unite in saying, "We have lost a good and

true man."

Mr. Clifton became a member of the DeKalb Lodge No. 214 F. & A. M. by

application on Nov. 17, 1885, his home lodge being at Orland.  He remained

a true and devoted member of the Order until death severed the Mystic tie

that bound him to that fraternity.

During the year 1901 he was attacked by an insidious and unknown

disease.  For three years he bravely battled against the slow but steady

advance of the unseen and unknown foe to his mortal life.  But alas,

neither medical skill nor solicitous care of brethren of his Lodge, nor

sympathy and kindness of neighbors and friends, nor stalwart frame and

rugged constitution, nor unfailing love of a noble and devoted wife who

for three long years kept constant watch and vigil by his bedside, were

able to longer stay the final summons which we call death.  And so tired

of life's journey, he whom we loved has passed within the silent "tent" of

death whose curtain never outward swings.

He leaves to mourn his departure a wife, an aged mother, Mrs. M. A.

Clifton of Auburn; three sisters, Mrs. C. C. Noragon, of Angola, Mrs. W. 

C. Townsend, of Auburn, and Mrs. M.D. Bansill, of Bellaire, Mich.; and one

brother, J. W. Clifton, of Ohio.  The funeral was held at the home

Saturday at 1 p.m. under the direction of the Masonic Order, Rev. Brosy

officiating.  Interment in Evergreen Cemetery.
