CLAWSON: I spent some of this morning browsing around Ancestry in pursuit of Clarence Alfred Clawson (1873-1934). He married a Butler County girl, Evelyn Alberta George (1875-1974) in 1910. "My" Clarence Clawson may or may never have lived in Butler Co. His WWI draft registration showed he and his wife Evelyn were living in Indianapolis IN in 1917-18. At that time he was a veternarian for the Department of Agriculture. Earlier, he worked on the King Ranch in Delhart, Texas. Clarence is NOT the 27 year old Clarence Clawson - a bank teller - who was living in Liberty township in the 1900 census with his parents, Clinton (b ca 1846) and Elizabeth (b ca 1848). That Clarence turns out to be James Clarence Clawson, born in 1873, the same year as Clarence Alfred Clawson. The cincher is that the Liberty twp Clarence (or James C) was, by the 1920 census, married to Grace H., and had a son, Dudley C., born in 1903. I'll be glad when Ancestry has more censuses indexed...

But I think it is not known how or if he is connected to the Warren and Fountain Co Indiana Clawsons. I see that Elizabeth died in Lafayette, IN, which suggests a local link.
