General Notes: Husband - Curtis Bowman Clawson

---

He was educated in the public schools, Mercersburg Academy and Greensburg Seminary, beginning his business career with an engineering corps from West Point doing government work at Pensacola, Florida. After severing that connection, he returned to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, where for a time he was in the employ of ex-Sheriff McCann, who was conducting a contracting business. His next position was with the Westmoreland National Bank as clerk, continuing with the bank until 1905. He then went in partnership with E. C. Hunter, purchased the old store business founded by his father, operating for a time as Clawson & Hunter. He then purchased Mr. Hunter's interest and conducted the business alone until 1909, when he sold out and entered the automobile business as salesman for the Standard Auto Company. He continued with the Standard Auto Company for three years, then was engaged in managing his father's business affairs until the organization of the Clawson & Blank Tire Company. The firm was located at No. 110 East Pittsburgh street, Greensburg, handling tires in connection with other automobile accessories.
