Clancy Dies After Long Illness

W. T. Clancy, 71, resident of El Dorado for 28 years, died Thursday morning at 
Cleburne, Tex., where he went three months ago for his heath. He had suffered 
from dropsy and leakage of the heart, getting much worse after a trip to 
Colorado in August, 1912. Word received here Saturday stated that he was 
apparently much better. A. J. Holderman, his brother-in-law, went to Cleburne 
Thursday.

Mr. Clancy was born in London, Eng. coming to El Dorado 28 years ago and buying 
a bank on South Main of the Ellets. About eight years ago he bought the 
Makepeace and Gibson furniture store at Fourth and Main, selling the store to 
Sharp Bros. last spring. He revolutionized the business, making his store one 
of the best in this part of the state. Twenty-five years ago he married Kate 
Bashaw at the home of her sister, Mrs. Holderman. They have three children, 
Will, Golda and Beulah, who, with Mrs. Clancy, survive. All were at the bedise 
in Cleburne. They expect to make their home now at Karval, Colo., where Will 
has a claim. Two sisters, Miss Nellie Clancy of Colorado, and Mrs. Gillespie of 
Towanda, and a brother, Herbert Clancy, of Montana, also survive.

The funeral was held in Hartman, Colo. Mr. Clancy would have been 71 years old 
in March. He came to the United States when a small boy, living in Wisconsin 
and Iowa, where he and his father kept wholesale houses.
