Obituary: William Clow, Sr. of Warrenton, this county, departed this life on the 10th day of March 1899, and was interred in the cemetery at that place on the following Sabbath. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia, but he had been afflicted for some months with a partial paralysis of the stomach and bowels. Mr. Clow was born on Buffalo Creek, Brooke county, W. Va. on the 10th day of June, 1819, and was well past the allotted life of man. His boyhood days were spent on a farm. At the age of eighteen he began flatboating on the Ohio river in the capacity of pilot. He followed this until the flatboat gave way to the steamer, and engaged in piloting the latter until 1878 when he retired from river service. During the Civil War he was engaged as pilot in the Government Marine Service on the Mississippi and its tributaries and was at the wheel of one of the boats that made the memorable run of the blockade at Vicksburg in 1863. He was captain and pilot of the Ben Franklin at the time Gen Grant used that boat for his headquarters, and was a close personal acquaintance of the General. Later and until the close of the war he was Master of the dispatch boat Sallie List. The latter years of his life were spent at Warrenton. Mr. Clow was a man of solid character and enjoyed the respect and esteem of the entire community. He had a keen perception of the duty of the citizen toward the community and State, being a firm advocate of good Government, and holding his vote sacred to that end. He was an exhaustive reader and until his last illness, kept himself in close touch with the doings of the day. Mr. Clow is survived by his wife and four children. He was twice married. His first wife was Nancy A Williams of Brooke county, W. Va; the only surviving child of which union is Capt J A Clow, of Shousetown, Pa. His second wife was Sarah Jane Conant, of Wheeling, W Va. The children of the latter marriage are William and George Clow, of Warrenton, and David H. Clow, of Pittsburg, Pa. The funeral services of Wm Clow were conducted by Rev Harris in the ME church on Sunday. Dave Clow and Mrs Bert Clow of Pittsburg, the Misses Bedillion, of Wheeling, and Mrs Lucas and sons, near Wellsburg, all near relatives were in attendance.
