General Notes: Husband - Boyd Clawson


He was born on the family homestead, and attended public school in the home locality. When his father died he was just eleven years old, and he continued to live on the farm with his mother until he reached the age of seventeen, when he went to the home of his uncle Benjamin Clawson, on Steward's run in Blacklick township, passing the next three years there. Then he married and settled on the Sutton farm, a tract of 150 acres which his father had bought. In addition to general farming he engaged in stock raising to some extent, and beginning in 1904 was extensively interested in dairying, shipping his milk to Pittsburgh. He built a silo and had other modern arrangements for giving his stock proper care, having a fine herd of Holsteins which proved very profitable. He served his township as school director for five years, and was a valued member of the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as trustee for fifteen years. In politics he was a Republican, favoring Progressive principles.
