Dennis Hennessy, aged 82, died at his home, 538 Camanche avenue, at 5:30 a.m. today from hardening of the arteries. He was one of the earliest settlers of Clinton. He came here with the railroad, helping to build the Northwestern bridge. He came here to live in 1854 or '55 and has lived here since. He was in the employ of the Northwestern before that time and remained with them until pensioned eight years ago.
