General Notes: Husband - Gere Clawson

---

He was born on the Clawson homestead, and received a public school education. He worked with his father until he reached manhood, and when he commenced farming on his own account settled on a 300-acre tract near Hopewell Church. Though he died in his early prime, he had made remarkable progress and was a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. Besides the place already mentioned, he owned a place of 150 acres on Steward's run, known as the Sutton farm, which he bought, and which was later owned and operated by his son Boyd.
He took no part in politics, though an interested member of the Democratic party, but he was an earnest member of the Hopewell M. E. Church and a leader in all its activities, serving as class leader and steward.
