General Notes: Husband - William H. Clawson

---

He was educated in the common schools, and early learned the tanning and harness-making trades, which he followed until the age of twenty-six. He was a partial owner of the tannery when it was destroyed by fire. He was for four years engaged in farming and stock raising with A. G. Egbert, and afterward removed to Sandy Lake, where he engaged in the manufacture of harness with the same gentleman for two years. In 1869 he purchased the old Egbert homestead in Sandy Lake Township, and farmed the same until 1885, when he purchased the meat shop where he now prosecutes the butcher's business. He owns the old farm of 175 acres.
He was school director three terms. He was a member of the E. M. B. A., of which he was one of the charter members. He also belonged to the A. O. U. W. and P. H. C., and he and wife were members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. He was a Republican, and sent a substitute, Harvey Squires, who was killed in the defense of his country at Fort Steadman by the side of Charles Clawson. The gallant fighting of these two at this bat-tle formed one of the most romantic episodes of the war. [HMC 1888, 1047]
