1420 - L. Jan. 8; ed:4/2 - Joseph B. Bartlett, city auditor of Murison
and Superior sts. extension, died suddenly yesterday. He passed away
in the throes of an apoplectic fit. Between 65 and 70 years of age, he
was a resident of Cleveland about 30 years, coming here from Marblehead,
Mass. Soon after coming here, he was elected recorder of Cuyahoga coun-
ty and held that office several years before 1840.
For the past 13 years he had held the offices of city clerk and city
auditor and was in the latter position at the time of his death. His
faithfulness and accuracy endeared him to all political parties alike,
and no matter which party was in power, he was continued in his same
position.
"As an officer, citizen and gentleman he was a model and example and
death has removed one whom Cleveland can illy afford to lose." . . . (4)
