Someone else had sent this info to me also. I'm sure these are my folks, but I'm not sure his name is correct in the source. Family history has him as Edwin Clay. His grandson and great-granddaughter were both named after him, and it seems unlikely to me that the family would have forgotten his name w/in two or three generations.
