Clinton married Sara Ellen Morrison, their children were: Claude, Marie (Mewes), Elva (Coggshell), Alyene (Summey). Uncle Clint had some special way of talking; don't know whether it was loud, impediment or something. I visited with the Piersons a
child; I said, "That man talks funny" as we were leaving. Clinton died 24 April 1931 and is buried at Mounds cemetery, north of Timewell. Aunt Ella died in 1960 and is buried at Mounds.
