Obituary in Pottsville Republican dated October 1893:

Death of Joseph Denning

Another prominent citizen of St. Clair is gone. Death came and took away Joseph Denning, a well known and highly respected citizen of that place, in the presence of a number of the members of his family. The deceased was born in England eighty-five years ago. When he arrived at manhood's state he left Merrie England and located in Pottsville, where he followed the pursuit of blacksmithing; subsequently he removed to Bradford county, where he followed butchering. But a few years after he returned to this county and located at Wadesville where he opened a little colliery in the primitive days of coal mining. He also carried on a store and farming. In 1844 he removed to St. Clair, where he opened up a store in connection with a meat market, which he managed successfully for many years, being compelled to retire to private life by reason of his advanced years. He has always commanded the confidence and respect of his many friends and neighbors, who join with the family in sorrowing for the dead patriarch.

The following children survive him: Joseph H., Manayunk, formerly of New Castle; Mrs. Margaret Cooley {sic:Covely}; William, George, John, Hannah & Alfred, all of St. Clair.
