LIEUTENANT JOSEPH CLANCY
Retired Naval Officer, Native New Yorker, Buried With Honors
WASHINGTON, February 7, 1929 – Lieutenant Joseph Clancy, retired, a medal of honor man in the Navy, who was born in New York in September 1863, was buried today with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery. Captain C. H. Dickins, Chief of Navy Chaplains, officiated.
Lieutenant Clancy died on Saturday and the funeral was delayed while unsuccessful efforts were made to locate relatives. For years he had reported “no next of kin” in the Navy records, then named a daughter, Mrs. Mollie Bailey of 126 East 127th Street, New York, as his beneficiary. But in 1917 he reported that he had no beneficiary.
He enlisted on June 27, 1899, and was retired on August 30, 1920. He had been the Acting Schoolmaster of the frigate Constellation, which was used as a training ship. Attached to the landing force of the USS Newark, Clancy was a member of the expedition under Vice Admiral E. H. Seymour of the British Navy which marched from Tientsin to the relief of the legations at Peking during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. For this service he received the Congressional Medal of Honor.
