The Terre Haute newspapers publish Clay County obits as well as Vigo and other surrounding counties. There is a link to order the obit from the library. If you don't find it there, then contact the Clay County Genealogical Society; research@ccgsilib.org . Hope this helps.

Bob Scott of the Jefferson County, Indiana Rootsweb list, that was very enlightening about the problems with the 1830 census 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1900 censuses indexed by Ancestry.com as well as other pitfalls to avoid. I have come across the Iowa rather than Indiana problem before, but your explanation makes it quite clear and may avoid missing a record for other genealogists. I am always wondering why I can't find people in various censuses, and this is yet another reason. Many people use Ancestry Library Edition at their local public library, so they also need to know of these problems. Please read Bob's posting below my signature.
