Brother Clayton has had a family of nine children, three having died prior to his death, six remaining to mourn his loss, but they need not mourn as those who have no hope. Brother Clayton was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church some 37 years. United with said church in Hardin County, Ohio. He loved its privileges and enjoyed its communion for all those years, serving the Lord. He served the church at times as class leader and steward. In the year 1881 he was made one of the trustees of seven who were incorporated as a body to erect the M. E. Church of Siam, Iowa, in which his funeral services were held. Brother Clayton was taken sick very suddenly with lung fever, which terminated in his death in ten days. He was well aware when taken sick that he would not recover, he also expressed his unshaken confidence in the precious promises in God's word, oft repeating the three first verses of the fourteenth chapter of the Gospel by John, and other portions of scripture such as, "All things are ready now." Exhorting neighbors, taking his neighbors by the hand praying for them. He was a man of uniform habits, loved his home, scarcely ever absent from it, and spent most of this present winter reading his bible. He was a man that appreciated how good the Lord had been to him and he tendered of his substance to aid in building a temple of worship at Siam and was always ready to support the Gospel. The funeral services were conducted by brother Joseph Stewart and H. H. Roush. From the 14th chapter of the Gospel by John. Let not your heart be troubled; ye Believe in God, believe also in Me, In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, ye may be also. Our prayer is that the kind Father in heaven may sanctify this affliction, to the good of the children and friends of the deceased. [Poem Not transcribed.]
