Rev. Orson P. Clinton, one of the pioneers of Wisconsin, and a patriarch among the Congregational ministers of the state, died at Menasha, June 17th, aged 81 years.
Mr. Clinton was a brother of Deacon E. D. Clinton and Mrs. George A. Hine of this place, and our esteemed fellow citizen, O. P. Clinton, is a nephew and bears his name. He was a Native of Vermont, and came from New York state to Wisconsin in 1842. After a few years spent in the southern part of the state he went to the newer region about Lake Winnebago, and established himself in a home on Doty Island. He organized churches at Neenah and Menasha.
