General Notes: Husband - Frank Clutton

---

Until he was thir­teen years of age he was reared by an aunt in Worth Township, Butler County, PA. In 1870 he moved to Slippery Rock was general superintendent of the Slippery Rock State Normal School.

He learned the trade of car­riage painter in his youth and then con­ducted a mercantile business with his aunt, E. G. Clutton, until his marriage. In 1880 he became manager of the branch store of Bard Bros., at Coaltown, and in 1882, while there, not only had all his property de­stroyed by a cyclone that swept through that section, but was also seriously injured, to such an extent that he was compelled to be out of business for months. After Bard Bros. rebuilt, he returned to them and continued in their employ until May, 1884, at Coaltown, and until October, at Slippery Rock. From there he went to Hazzard, Mercer County, where he had charge of the stores of a coal company, leaving there in June, 1886, to accept a position as bookkeeper at Millerstown, now Chicora. In June, 1887, he moved to Slippery Rock and went into a general store business under the name of Clutton Bros., No. 2, the firm, made up of himself and brother George W., already having a drug store. In 1891 George W. Clutton removed to New Castle, where he continued in the drug business, and at that time Frank Clutton sold the general store and took charge of the drug business at Slippery Rock, for some time also having an interest in the New Castle store. In 1899 the partnership was dissolved and Frank Clutton continued the drug business at Slippery Rock under his own name and remained in the drug business until 1906, when he sold out to the firm of Mayberry & Pisor. In the meanwhile, his sons were trained in the store and later did a large business on their own account.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Slippery Rock, PA, and a member of the board of stewards. He was a Mason, Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias.
