Joseph C. a Blackburn, former Senator from Ken tucky, and in recent years resident commissioner of the Llncpln Memorial Commission, died early today at his home here. As a member of the United States Senate for. three administrations, and as chairman of the Senate Democratic caucus in 190S and, consequently, leader of the party in the Senate, Mr. Black burn for many years occupied a prom inent position in National politics.

Mr. Blackburn was born October 1, 1838, In Woodford County, Kentucky. Upon graduating from Center College he moved from his Kentucky home to Chicago, where he practiced law for two years. In 1S61, he espoused the Confederate cause, and after serving for three years as aide-de-camp to General Preston. was assigned to an Independent com mand in Mississippi.

In 1909, after resigning from the Isthmian Canal Commission, Mr. Black burn returned to his home in Kentucky. Congress passed a joint resolution in 1914, making him special resident com missioner on the board charged with the erection of ttie National memorial to Abraham Lincoln, in Washington, and in 1915 he laid the cornerstone of this monument.
