Husband of Zeruah (Slauter) Bristol (1819-1904). Son of Willis Bristol and Rachel (Eaton) Bristol.
From The Amboy Journal, Thursday, January 6, 1890:
"Joseph E. Bristol was born in Washington Co., N.Y., Jan. 28, 1818, and died at his home in Amboy, Dec. 29, 1897, aged 79 years, 11 months and 1 day. He was the oldest of a family of 8 children, three of whom - two sisters and one brother, survive him. He was married to Zernah Slauter, March 25, 1841. One child only, Mr. Almon Bristol, blessed their union. Mr. Bristol came to Ill., in 1857, residing in Bureau Co., until 1861, when he moved to Amboy, which has ever since been his home. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father. He will be sadly missed - not alone in his own home - where the loss will be felt most keenly - but in the circle of relatives and friends who loved him, and in the community where he has lived so many years, for he had a cheerful word and a kind smile for all. He has passed through a great deal of suffering, and his last sickness was one of intense pain, but he has borne it all with patience. Talking with his wife and son the last days of this sickness, he expressed his willingness to go, and said that "all is well." And so he passed away, quietly and peacefully to his reward."
