General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Clawson

---

He was born on the old Clawson homestead in Blacklick township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and attended the local public schools. Working with his father, who owned and operated over six hundred acres at that time, he became thoroughly familiar with farm work and management, and after starting out for himself became the owner of a tract of 400 acres. He followed stock raising as well as general farming, and made extensive improvements on his property during his active years. In his later years he gave up arduous work, enjoying the fruits of his early industry in comfortable retirement. He never took any part in the public affairs of his locality, supporting the Democratic party but not associating himself with any of its activities. However, he was a leading member and worker of the Hopewell M. E. Church, serving as trustee and superintendent of the Sunday school.
