General Notes: Husband - Richard B. Clawson

---

What education he received was obtained in the subscription schools then conducted, but for only a few months in the year. He grew to manhood in the township of his birth, and like his father made farming his occupation, his industrious and frugal habits enabling him to add to his possessions until he was one of the largest land owners in this part of the county, having upward of a thousand acres, part of which was in Green township. There his daughters and sons-in-law settled. He spent all his life in Blacklick township, dying there in June, 1896, and was buried in the family plot in Hopewell cemetery. He was a member of the Hopewell M. E. Church, and in political belief a Democrat.
