Joseph Cleveland Setliffe
1939-2007
A memorial will be held in Lone Pine at a later date for 15-year Lone Pine resident Joseph Setliffe, who died peacefully at home on Sept. 1, 2007. He was 68.

Following in the footsteps of John Muir, Joe spent many years backpacking in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, which he adopted as a second home. He was also a great music lover, a voracious reader and a passionate advocate of the American principles of liberty and justice.

He is survived by his wife, Donna MacPherson, his daughter, Catriona Setliffe, and his son, Jesse Setliffe, of Portland, Ore.; and by his son, Justin Setliffe of Alexandria, Va.
