HUGHEXNS. CE “Chief Sanitation Officer. - It is,with deep sorrow that we regnrd the death of Mr, Wm. Clindinen, leading hardwaré merchant in this island, Com- missioner ofthe Reconciling Court, Trus- tee of ‘the |New St. "Croix Savings. Bank and one of the ‘most- respected and" es- te¢med residents of Christiansted.” For “some time the deceased had been in fail- ing health and during the last two months ‘had not left the house although he was believed to be improving when the end came unexpectedly at 1.30 p.m. yesterday. “ Mr. Clindinen was born in St. Croix in 1850 and his associations with mercantile _enterprise dates back to boyhood: He entered -the firm of W. H. Heyliger a8 a lad of fourteen, ultimately be- ‘eame the manager of that estab- Jlishment.and after twenty five years ac- "quired the business for himself. He labored untiringly- and built up a ~ proprietorship conspicuous for the vast: investment represented and ‘t’ne ex- tensive tiade controlled. Os a na-: turally agreeable and unassuming dis- position, Mr. Clindinen made a model { salesman never relinquishing his keen interest to serve and accommodate even his most humble customer, and apart from his many personal friends this familiar figure will be missed by a large section of the public to whom he was also very eharitable. Our most sincere sympathy goes out to Mis. Clindinen in her sore bereavement, and also to her sister to bothr of whom " the deceased was greatly devoted. The funeral nas been fixed for 4,30 this afternoon and will be conducted by the Lutheran clergyman from the resi- dence, No. 2 Church Street, direct to the cemetery. : _ ST.LURUI-X AVID The Vixen visited this port yesterday with "His Excellency 'the Governor who attended .the ‘meeting of the.
