CLAWSON Mount Pleasant lost one of its best known residents in the death of Mr. Charles F. Clawson who passed away at his home in this city on March 17, 1920. His death came very suddenly and unexpectedly. He was apparently in his usual health when he retired on the evening of his death. But in the middle of the night he died without a moment's warning. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, a son of John R. and Lucy [Fischer] Clawson, November 9, 1853. The family removed to Mt. Pleasant in 1855. Here he grew up to manhood and here he engaged in business until his demise. He was by trade a tinner, an occupation which he followed for several years. Later he entered the restaurant business which he carried on at Burlington depot for over thirty years. His place of business was popular with the students of the college and other young people. He was a man of straight business integrity, quiet and unassuming, having the respect of all who knew him. His sudden death came as a great shock to his many friends and acquaintances. December 24, 1872 he and Miss Sophia Lucrode were united in marriage. Two sons, Bercham F. Clawson and Robert L. Clawson, both of this city, were born to them. Besides the sons and widow who remain, Mr. Clawson left four brothers, Harry Clawson, New London, Iowa; Orrin Clawson, Ottumwa, Iowa; James Clawson, Oakland, Iowa, and John Clawson, Aurora, Illinois, one sister Mrs. Rose Clawson Bell, Aurora, and one granddaughter, Miss Rose Clawson of this city. Besides many friends remain. Deceased was a great lover of flowers and his place by the depot was always attractive on account of its beauty and fragrance. Many passers by were cheered by the sight and smell of it. He was also a warm friend of dumb animals and cared for their wants when others might have allowed them to go hungry and thirsty. Funeral services were held at the home on Saturday afternoon at three-thirty o'clock. Pastor Frank E. Weston of the first Baptist church conducted them. Mesdames Martin Harshbarger and F.R. Coleman and Messrs. S. Skipton and F.E. Weston sang, 'Nearer My God to Thee,' and 'Rock of Ages'. The services were private. The pallbearers were Messrs. E.E. Taft, Charles Whittaker, James Shepherd, E. Mehl, John Gheen and A.W. Kinkead. Interment was in the family lot in the old city cemetery.
