Register Report for Josiah Clawson
Generation 1
1.
Josiah Clawson-1. He died Bef. 1781 in Tyrone Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
He was born in Scotland.
Notes for Josiah Clawson:
General Notes:
Presently, I can only trace the Clawson branch to about the middle of the eighteenth century. The
earliest Clawson I can trace is a Josiah Clawson who was on the tax list in 1763 for Tyrone
Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. From several different sources, there were 5
Clawson brothers. Two of them, Richard and Peter Clawson fought for the colonists in the
Revolutionary War as members of the Cumberland County militia. Also in the early 1780's, Peter
and Richard can be found in the tax records for Tyrone Township, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania as well as a widow Clawson. Tyrone Township is now a part of Perry County,
Pennsylvania. This, I assume. means that Josiah Clawson has died. After this time, some or all
of the five brothers moved to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. About this time according to
family lore, these brothers got into some type of argument and the 5 brothers went to four different
areas of the state. When this argument occurred, it was also told from family lore that the brothers
changed the spellings of the last name as a final statement in this disagreement. This is probably
how the different spellings of the last name occurred. The spellings that have existed were
Clawson (supposedly the original spelling), Closson (still exists today), Clossin, and a few other
variations.
Richard and Josiah Clawson moved to Indiana County, Pennsylvania in the Blacklick Township
area. These two brothers were in the same area according to the tax and census records, their
farms were near to each other. From tax records, they must have moved into Indiana County
before 1807. Peter remained in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and it is believed he was poor
from the legal records that exist for him. The members of this branch largely spelled their last
name Closson. There is a Peter who had lived in Washington Township, Westmoreland County,
Pennsylvania around 1800 and it is now determined that he is not directly related to the Clawsons
mentioned above even though some of his descendants appeared in other parts of my family tree.
Daniel may be a brother to Peter, Richard, and Josiah but may also be a nephew to another
brother not yet found. There is also a John Clawson married to Elizabeth Wincher who I have a
similar problem. Is he a brother or a nephew to Peter, Richard, and Josiah? I have them listed as
brothers since this is what most researchers believe. Daniel and John eventually made their way
to Indiana County where Daniel went to Blacklick Township and John went to Conemaugh
Township.
Another interesting item is there was a Josiah Clawson who married Margaret Buckalew in New
Jersey and they were both born and grew up in New Jersey. According to the Buckalew
Association website, they had at least two children named Peter and Richard. Also from some
research done by others on the Clawsons as well as on the LDS website, they also have Josiah
marrying Margaret Buckalew. Josiah's parents were Thomas and Anne Clawson. Thomas'
parents were William and Mary Clawson. These families can be traced to a Claus Cornelius Van
Schouw who came to America in the mid-1600's from the Netherlands. In 2009, I submitted a
DNA sample for genealogical purposes. The results were compared to several members from the
Van Schouw line and there is no connection between my Clawson line and the Van Schouw line.
In comparing my DNA to different databases, my ancestors were Eastern European and/or
Scandinavian. My DNA is similar to the populations in Latvia, Russia, Poland, and Norway. This
fits into a Haplogroup of R1a1.
If my Clawson ancestors were of Scottish heritage and with the DNA results mentioned previously
along with some general genealogical data of the Clawson name in Scotland, the Clawson family
is of Viking descent. They may have come from the Orkneys (Islands). If one looks at the
spelling variation of Closson, this is a further variation of the surname Clouston. The Clouston
family is an old family that settled in the Orkneys around 1000 AD from Norway and had ties into
the Norwegian monarchy. Around 1400, the Orkneys were given by Norway to Scotland and
these people from the Orkneys intermixed with the native Scots. As of now, I haven't found

the Norwegian monarchy. Around 1400, the Orkneys were given by Norway to Scotland and
these people from the Orkneys intermixed with the native Scots. As of now, I haven't found
anyone from the Clouston family who has submitted to a DNA test.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Something that may pan out is I have been talking a little bit with David Keswick, a member of the
Clawson tree. He is a college professor in Michigan. He thinks that the Clawsons are from the
Pitlochry and Perthshire region of Scotland. The Donaheys and the Fergusons are from around
this area. He thinks that the Clawsons settled in Indiana County with other people from the area
in Scotland that they lived. David has some friends in that area of Scotland who are trying to
confirm this. The Clawsons in that area are orginally from Scandanavia (possibly Viking or maybe
Norwegian) and they moved to Scotland near or before 1000 AD. Also, the Clawsons in Scotland
were not affiliated with any of the clans, according to David.
Also, I came across a website that would sell you your family history to you for $20 (A 1700 word
write-up.). They had two listings for Clawson from the British Isles. The Clawsons from Scotland
that they would supply were from Norway and originally landed in the Orkney Islands at the
northern tip of Scotland around 1000 AD. I haven't bought it so I don't know what else it has. But
maybe there could be something here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tyrone Township is now part of Perry County, Pennsylvania.
His name could be Josiah or John. There is a tax record for Josiah Clawson that is from 1763 for
Tyrone Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
At this time, I am not sure that Daniel and John are sons of this person. They are probably
related to him some way.

a farmer.
According to the 1810 and 1820 censuses, Richard was living in Blacklick Township, Indiana
According to Clawson folklore, 5 brothers came to the U.S. and it was believed they came from
England. In the last 10 to 15 years, it is now believed that they came from Scotland. Anyway,
after they came here, there was a big argument and the 4 of the brothers went different ways and
moved to different parts of the Pennsylvania. When they did, each one changed the spelling of
their last name. Supposedly, Richard kept the original spelling. It appears that Richard and
Josiah stayed together and moved to Indiana County. It appears that Peter, James, and
Alexander appeared to stay in the Blair and Huntingdon Counties of Pennsylvania. Similar stories
are told in other distant portions of the Clawson tree.
The name Clawson was probably not the name of the ancestors who lived in Scotland. The name
might have been changed since there was a war going on in England at the time they migrated
and they wanted to protect themselves in case someone would try to track them. There was a
program on the History Channel about Scottish clans. At the time that Richard Clawson would
have come to America, the English were doing an ethnic cleansing of the Highland Scottish Clans
since they were loyal to the Stuarts (Stewarts) who were trying to take back the throne of England
from King George I. The Clawson ancestors maybe were part of these clans who were being
eradicated by the English. Many thousands of Scots fled to U.S., Canada, and Australia during
this time. The clans who were being eradicated were in allegiance to the McDonalds.
The Clawson brothers originally were living in the Tyrone Township, Cumberland County (now
Perry County) area of Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolutionary War. Later they moved to the
Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania where the supposed argument occurred. Records are available
that Richard and Peter fought for the colonists in the Revolutionary War.

CLAWSON. The Clawson Family of Indiana county has been settled here for over a century, and
its members in every generation have been respected and useful citizens, a credit to the
community and to the honored name they bear.
Benjamin Clawson, the first of the family in this part of the State, was born Aug. 27, 1781, in
Huntingdon county, Pa., son Richard and Sarah (Mitchell) Clawson. He grew to manhood there,
and came to western Pennsylvania when a young man, about the close of the eighteenth century,
crossing the Alleghenies and making a settlement in what is now Blacklick township, Indiana
county, then, however, a part of Westmoreland county. He became the owner of a large tract of
land in what was a that time a wilderness, and experienced the various phases of pioneer life. He
engaged in general farming and made what improvements he could upon his land, residing there
until his death, which occurred when he was past eighty years of age. He is buried in Hopewell
Church cemetery in Blacklick township. Mr. Clawson was twice married, the first time Feb. 21,
1811, to Mrs. Mary (Donahey) Lowers, widow of Robert Lowers, by which union there were six
children, born as follows: Richard B., Dec. 15, 1811; Mary, Nov. 16, 1814 (married Samuel
Bennett); Sarah, Sept. 10, 1816 (married John Clawson); William, Sept. 1, 1818 (died in infancy);
William (2), Oct. 6, 1819 (also died young); Benjamin, Oct. 10, 1824. After the death of his first
wife Mr. Clawson married, Dec. 1, 1838, Mary Huffman. There were no children by this marriage.
Richard B. Clawson, eldest son of Benjamin and Mary Clawson, was born Dec. 15,1811. What
education he received was obtained in the subscription schools then conducted, but for only a few
months in the year. He grew to manhood I the township of his birth, and like his father made
farming his occupation, his industrious and frugal habits enabling him to add to his possessions
until he was on e of the largest land owners in this part of the county, having upward of a
thousand acres, part of which was in Green township. There his daughters and sons-in-laws
settled. He spent all his life in Blacklick township, dying there in June, 1896, and was buried in
the family plot in Hopewell cemetery. He was a member of the Hopewell M. E. Church, and in
political belief a Democrat. On Dec. 15, 1831, Mr. Clawson was married to Rachel Davis, whose
ancestors were natives of New England. She died in July, 1897, in Blacklick township, and is
buried in Hopewell cemetery. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Clawson: Benjamin, born
July 11, 1833, is mentioned below; Eunice, born Aug. 16, 1835, died Feb. 27, 1838; Mary Ann,
born March 31, 1838, married John Donahey and settled in Green township, where she died;
Silas, born July 22, 1840, died March 2, 1858, Gere, born July 31, 1847, is mentioned below;
Rebecca, born March 8,1852, married Benjamin Donahey and resided in Green township;
Cynthia, born March 25,1860, died aged seventeen years.
Benjamin Clawson was born on the old Clawson homestead in Blacklick township and attended
the local public schools. Working with his father, who owned and operated over six hundred acres
at that time, he became thoroughly familiar with farm work and management, and after starting out
for himself became the owner of a tract of ? acres. He followed stock raising as well as general
farming, and made extensive improvements upon his property during hi active years, working hard
and prospering deservedly. His well-directed labors and intelligent attention to all the details of his
work placed him among the foremost farmers of his township, and few of its citizens have been
more thoroughly respected for substantial worth and useful lives. In the last few years he ahs
given up arduous work, enjoying the fruits of his early industry in comfortable retirement. He has
never taken any part in the public affairs of his locality, supporting the Democratic party but not
associating himself with any of its activities. However, he has been a leading member and worker
of the Hopewell M. E. Church, at present serving as trustee and superintendent of the Sunday
school.

of the Hopewell M. E. Church, at present serving as trustee and superintendent of the Sunday
school.
On Oct. 12, 1897, Mr. Clawson was united in marriage with Caroline Ferguson, a native of
Blacklick township, daughter of Elliott and Hulda (Clawson) Ferguson. They have had one child,
Anna Mary, born July 16, 1898, who graduated from the township school in 1912, and is now,
attending high school at Blairsville. Mrs. Clawson is also a member of the Hopewell M. E. Church.
She is noted in the neighborhood for her generous disposition and whole-souled nature, her good
deeds and kindliness making her generally beloved. Besides looking after her own family she
cares for two children of her deceased sister.
Gere Clawson, younger brother of Benjamin Clawson, was born July 31, 1847 on the Clawson
homestead, and received a public school education. He worked with his father until he reached
manhood. And when he commenced farming on his who account settled on a 300-acre tract near
Hopewell Church. Though he died in his early prime, Nov. 22. 1885, he had made remarkable
progress and was a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. Besides the place already mentioned, he
owned a second place of 150 acres on Steward's run, known as the Sutton farm, which he
bought, and which is now owned and operated his son Boyd. Mr. Clawson is interred in Hopewell
cemetery. He took no part in politics, though an interested member of the Democratic party, but
he was an earnest member of the Hopewell M. E. Church and a leader in all its activities, serving
as class leader and steward. He was a man of the highest moral character and strict integrity,
temperate in all his habits, and noted for his fidelity to every obligation. He married Feb. 26, 1874
at Livermore, Pa., Margaret Ellen Long, daughter of Jesse M. and Sarah (Smith) Long, and they
became the parents of six children, namely: Boyd is mentioned below; Benjamin Milton, born Nov.
14, 1876, is a farmer of Blacklick township; Jesse Knox, born Jan 10, 1879, is a farmer of
Blacklick township; George, born March 3, 1881, is a farmer in that township; Cynthia Augusta,
born Nov. 4, 1882, married Wesley Cover; Rachel, born Aug. 14, 1884, is the wife of David
Creamer. After the death of Mr. Clawson his widow married Charles Creamer, son of Thompson
Creamer, and by that marriage had four children, born as follows: Zora, Nov. 13, 1890; William
Kebler, Feb. 5, 1892, Sarah Ann, April 16,1894: Mabel, Nov. 5, 1895.
Boyd Clawson, son of Gere and Margaret Ellen (long) Clawson, was born on the homestead Dec.
3, 1874, and attended public school in the home locality. When his father died he was but eleven
years old, and he continued to live on the farm with his other until he reached the age of
seventeen, when he went to the home of his uncle Benjamin Clawson, on Steward's tun in
Blacklick township, passing the next three years there. Then married and settled on the Sutton
farm, tract of 10 acres which his father had bought and there he has had his home for the last
eighteen years. In addition to general farming he has engaged in stock raiding to some extent,
and since 1904 has been extensively interested in dairying, shipping his milk to Pittsburg. He built
a silo and has other modern arrangements for giving his stock proper care, having a fine herd of
Holstein which have proved very profitable. Mr. Clawson is up to date in his work, as the
successful dairyman of today must be, and his thrift and careful detail of his surroundings. He is a
good citizen, interesting himself in the general welfare, has served his township as school director
for five years, and is a valued member of the Presbyterian Church in which he has served as
trustee for fifteen years. In politics he is a Republican, present favoring Progressive principles.
On Dec. 20, 1894, Mr. Clawson married Mary Alice Fritz, a native of Blacklick township, daughter
of Conrad Fritz, and they have two children, Blair Fritz and Will Gere. Mrs. Clawson is a woman
of high accomplishments, a talented musician and successful music teacher.

SYLVESTER ERMINE,
a resident of near Tipton, and one of the old and substantial farmers of
Blair county, is the sixth child and third son of George and Sabina (Devlin)
Ermine, and was born in Sinking valley, Blair county, Pennsylvania, February
22, 1820. George Ermine was a resident for many years of Sinking valley, in
which he died at the advanced age of eighty-one years in 1866. He learned,
in early life, the trade of blacksmith, which he followed to some extent, but
gave the most of his time to farming, in which he took considerable
interest. He was Jacksonian democrat in politics, and had been for many
years before his death a consistent and useful member of the Catholic
church. He married Sabina Devlin, a native of Sinking valley, and who died
in 1863, when in the seventy-fifth year of her age. To them were born ten
children, six sons and four daughters: John, Maria, Eleanor, Lucy A.,
Matthew, Sylvester, George, Aaron, Catherine A., and Martine D. These
children are all dead except Sylvester, the subject of this sketch, and
George, who is engaged in farming in Sinking valley.
Sylvester Ermine grew to manhood in Sinking valley, and was carefully
trained in all of the operations and details of farming. He received his
education in the last old subscription and the first of the common schools,
and commenced life for himself as a teamster at Allegheny furnace. In a

education in the last old subscription and the first of the common schools,

farming until 1865, when he purchased his present farm near Tipton. His
farm, which lays well and is very productive, consists of one hundred and
thirty-three acres of well improved land.

wife of William Fuoss, a miller of near Tyrone; Irene, now dead: W. Murray
of Bellwood, married Bertha B. Reilly, and is a trainmaster on the

Eleanor Ermine is a daughter of Jerome and a granddaughter of Capt. John

pioneer settler of Logan valley, where he owned several large tracts of
land. He was a whig and married and reared a family of eight children:
James, Jerome, John, Hamilton, Mary, Elizabeth, Rachel, and Lucy. Jerome
Harrison (father of Mrs. Ermine) was born in 1812 in Philadelphia, where he
was reared and educated. He came with his father to Blair county, but soon
returned Philadelphia, where he learned the trade of coachmaker, after which
he returned to Blair county and settled near Birmingham. He was an old-line
whig, followed coachmaking, and was for many years a deacon in the Methodist
Episcopal church. He was twice married. His first wife was Nancy Stephens,
by whom he had three children: Thomas, Eleanor, and Alice. By his second
wife, Margaret Clawson, daughter of Josiah Clawson, he had one child

all the democratic candidates for president from James K. Polk, in 1844, down

Killed (Blairsville Press, March 27, 1868)
On Monday evening last, John Clawson, more familiarly know as 'Pepper John' of West
Wheatfield township, was killed by being struck by the engine of the emigrant train near Blairsville
Intersection. Mr. Clawson had been to Indiana during the day, and was sworn in as a constable
for West Wheatfield township. He was on his return home, and by some means missed the
accommodation train and undertook to walk from the Intersection, where he had eaten his supper
and drank a glass of ale - so said, if not worse and more of it, as it is sold in that vicinity in any
quantity in violation of the law - which was the last seen of him alive. We are told that the
engineer of the train said, that on turning a curve about a mile east of the Intersection, he saw a
man sitting on a tie a short distance ahead with his elbow on the rail. He pulled the whistle to put
down the brakes, but the distance was too short to stop the train. When the engine whistled,
Clawson merely turned his head, and appeared to be in too indifferent a condition to move. After
the engine struck him the train was stopped and the injured man taken up and brought to this
place, but he died on the road. The body was badly crushed. It was taken back to Westmoreland
county for inquest. We have had an unusual number of such cases during the past year, and yet
nothing is done to bring to punishment those men who violate the law every day by dealing out
the poison which is the cause of it all. Oh, no! they are respectable men, and have large sums of
money invested in property, and it must be protected, though for every brick, nail or foot of timber
which their property contains, a human being should be destroyed. We relish this kind of justice
and protection. Protect a number of men in idelness though a whole community suffers thereby.
"Oh, shame, where is thy blush."

accommodation train and undertook to walk from the Intersection, where he had eaten his supper
and drank a glass of ale - so said, if not worse and more of it, as it is sold in that vicinity in any
quantity in violation of the law - which was the last seen of him alive. We are told that the
engineer of the train said, that on turning a curve about a mile east of the Intersection, he saw a
man sitting on a tie a short distance ahead with his elbow on the rail. He pulled the whistle to put
down the brakes, but the distance was too short to stop the train. When the engine whistled,
Clawson merely turned his head, and appeared to be in too indifferent a condition to move. After
the engine struck him the train was stopped and the injured man taken up and brought to this
place, but he died on the road. The body was badly crushed. It was taken back to Westmoreland
county for inquest. We have had an unusual number of such cases during the past year, and yet
nothing is done to bring to punishment those men who violate the law every day by dealing out
the poison which is the cause of it all. Oh, no! they are respectable men, and have large sums of
money invested in property, and it must be protected, though for every brick, nail or foot of timber
which their property contains, a human being should be destroyed. We relish this kind of justice
and protection. Protect a number of men in idelness though a whole community suffers thereby.

Indiana Messenger (May 18, 1898)
THE FINDING OF ANNIE BURKETT
In the Muddy Waters of the Conemaugh is Found the Gruesome Corpse of the
Suicide.
On the evening of the 10th of March last Annie Burkett, who, if she had lived until
the 16th of next November, would have arrived at the age 16 years, took her life.
The details of the story, if they were such as were proper to be made public,
would be simply a disclosure of life such as we read of frequently, but in this case
with the tragedy left out.
The dead girl had been "keeping company" with Robert Brendlinger, a man at
least five years her senior. The mother of the girl disapproved of this, and finally
the daughter confessed that improper relations had existed, and the mother
sternly insisted that the intimacy should cease. The girl was way-ward, the lover
persistent and the mother determined. On Thursday night Brendlinger
accompanied the girl home from a revival meeting going on at Lockport,
Westmoreland county, where the parties lived. He was not permitted to enter the
house, and Annie was forbidden further intercourse with him. Robert departed.
The girl was enraged. The mother locked the outer doors. Annie went to her
room, changed her attire and then broke into the room where her mother, her
eldest sister, Maggie, and her youngest brother, aged 7, were sitting, and sprang
through a window, screaming as she fled;
Page 134 of 412
Friday, April 10, 2009 10:22:32 PM
eldest sister, Maggie, and her youngest brother, aged 7, were sitting, and sprang
through a window, screaming as she fled;
"I will drown myself! "
The mother did not regard the threat seriously and it was not until the lapse of an
hour or two that the family became alarmed at the prolonged absence of the
favorite girl. Then a search began. The river was but a short distance away.
There were various ways of reaching the treacherous waters of the Conemaugh
from the Burkett homestead. Each one of these ways was carefully followed that
night, but not a foot track was discovered. Next day the alarm increased. The river
was dragged for a mile each way, up and down, but no bod}' was found. As the
days lengthened into weeks various rumors got abroad. It was reported that Annie
had been seen at Johnstown, Moxham, New Florence, Pittsburg and other
places. The developments of last Monday proved all these stories false. On the
night she sprang from the window of her home Annie flew to the river and threw
herself into its waters and was drowned. The rainfall of Sunday night had
magnified the river and the body of the girl was caught up by the current and
carried on its surface. It was first noticed at Cokeville, and the parties who saw it
made pursuit and it was finally brought to shore a mile below Blairsville on
Monday morning. It presented a shocking appearance after its nine-weeks'
submergence in the river, but was still recognizable. At the inquest held by
Coroner M. M. Davis on Monday a brother and mother and sister identified the
remains, on which were found some cheap articles of jewelry, a black skirt, waist
and shoes and stockings. The mother and sister who, for the past months, had
lived in an agony of suspense and had used every means of as-:ertaining the fate
of the loved one, when brought to the place where the remains were, manifested
a grief hard to withstand by the little group of spectators.
The Coroner's jury, composed of F. M. Smith, J. M. Hadfield, Thomas Murray, Dr.
W. R. Miller, John Long and Robert Reed, returned a verdict of suicide, but
expressing no opinion, save that of family troubles, as to the causes leading to
the unhappy and unfortunate ending of the young girl's life.
The remains were taken home by the mother yesterday morning and interred
during the afternoon.
The father, Mr. Samuel Burkett, has lived all his life at Lockport and for many
years has been an employe of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The mother's
maiden name was Clawson. She was born near Jacksonville, this county, and
was a daughter of the late James Clawson. The parents, two sisters and two
brothers live to mourn the sad end of Annie Burkett, of whom everyone who knew
her had none but kind words to speak.

JOHN DAVID O'BRIEN, late telegrapher for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, completed
forty-six years of faithful service for that organization before his retirement in 1919. He was born
in Hollidaysburg, on Juniata Street, where members of his family still reside, on July 16, 1854. His

forty-six years of faithful service for that organization before his retirement in 1919. He was born
in Hollidaysburg, on Juniata Street, where members of his family still reside, on July 16, 1854. His
parents were Thomas O'Brien, one of Blair County's pioneer settlers, and Catharine Clawson
O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien attended the schools of Blair County and one of his teachers was Miss Martha Neville,
who later attained distinction in educational and literary circles as teacher and writer. Mr. O'Brien
became a telegrapher on March 1, 1873, when nineteen years of age and entered the service of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. For ten years he was stationed at Kittanning Point on the
famous Horseshoe Bend. Later he was almost continually employed at Hollidaysburg until he
retired at the age of sixty-five years. Mr. O'Brien won
the regard of his friends and fellow employees among whom he was highly esteemed. He was
extraordinarily public spirited and fulfilled the responsible positions allotted him with courage. He
performed heroic work on many occasions and on two recorded instances prevented serious
wrecks on the railroad. It is a significant fact that Mr. O'Brien never had occasion to report a
fellow employee for insubordination. He was retired almost eight years before his death in
Hollidaysburg on July 21, 1927. Mr. O'Brien was a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church,
adhered to the political principles of the Republican Party, and was a member of the Brotherhood
of American Railway Telegraphers. Although his name was suggested for public offices on
several occasions but he never aspired to such positions.
On October 25, 1883, he married Miss Elizabeth Hart at Hollidaysburg. She was a daughter of
Joseph Hart who came to the United
States from Germany when six years of age. Her father was a pioneer settler in the town and
conducted an extensive brick manufacturing business. As such he was a dominant factor in the
early development of the community. Mrs. O'Brien's mother was Barbara Smith Hart, also a native
of Germany, who came to this country at the age of twelve. Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien had three
children: Mary, who married Richard R. Baker, of Laura Brush Mountain of Pennsylvania; Joseph
W., who married Edna Nivley, of Williamsburg, assistant general superintendent of A. & P. Tea
Co., and Howard, who died in infancy.

According to the 1920 Census, Dorsey and his family were living in
[hollis(anc.).ftw]
Dorsey Hollis was killed by a hit and run accident. Dad used to tell the story in
such a way that it happened during prohibition. By his version Dorsey had gone
to a neighbors to sample some bathtub gin that they were making. On the way
back, drunk as a skunk, he was struck by a hit and run driver who was also
supposed to be drunk. It was a good story that illustrates how the law was
flaunted druing our dry period, but it is far from the truth. In the two accounts from
the Saginaw News the first thing to note is that the year is 1939--Prohibition
ended in 1933!
Saginaw News, Wed., March 1, 1939, page 1
2 CRITICALLY HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENTS
Two Saginaw men were hurt critically early Wednesday in automobile
accidents, one apparently invovled a hit-run motorist, who is sought by Saginaw
sheriff's officers.
The victims are Dorsey D. Hollis, 55, of 2900 Williamson street, a
Chevrolet foundry foreman, and Edward W. Waterstradt, 28, of 2926 Thayer
street. Both are in grave condition at St. Mary's hospital, suffering possible skull
fractures. Hollis, believed to have lain unconscious in the road about 6 hours,
suffered greatly from exposure, his hands and feet being frozen.
Waterstradt.....
Sheriff Muehlenbeck said Hollis left home shortly after midnight to visit a
neighbor. He was found Wenesday morning by a motorist. Although the victim's
body shows no marked bursises, the sheriff believed him the victim of a hit-runner
because of broken glass found nearby. Garages are being checked for the
wanted car. The accident occurred about half a mile from the Hollis residence,
near the city limits.
That article was followed by:
Saginaw News, Thursday, March 2, 1939, page 1
HIT-RUN VICTIM DEAD OF INJURY
An autopsy Thursday indicated Dorsey H. (sic) Hollis, 55 of 2900
Williamson street, died of injuries inflicted by an automobile, Coroner William E.
Honey reported. Hollis, hands and feet frozen, was found laying in the road about
half a mile from his home Wednesday morning and died last night at St. Mary's
hospital, apparently of exposure and a skull fracture.

half a mile from his home Wednesday morning and died last night at St. Mary's
hospital, apparently of exposure and a skull fracture.
Sheriff Muehlenbeck said fragments of glass believed to be from an
automobile headlight, found near the scene, were sent via air mail to Washington
yesterday afternoon for identification by Federal Bureau of Investigation experts.
No trace has been found of the hit-run motorist believed responsible for
Hollis' death. Assistant Prosecutor Montgomery is investigating.
And the plott thickens:
Saginaw News, Saturday, March 4, 1939, page 1
FLINT MAN TAKEN IN HIT-RUN CASE
A three-day search for a hit-run motorist whose automobile early
Wednesday struck and fatally injured Dorsey H.(sic) Hollis, 55, of 2900
Williamson street, was believed ended Friday night with the arrest of a Flint man,
now held at Saginaw county jail pending formal complaint, likely to be made
Monday.
The suspect, Paul Higgins, 27 of 45515 Carlton street, Flint, was
arrrested by Sheriff Muehlenbeck and Supt. Dale Austin of the Saginaw county
identification bureau, after it was established that he had taken his vehicle to a
Flint garage for repair of a broken headlight and a dented fender. Authorities say
there is other incriminating evidence. Higgins has refused to make any
statement.
Then came his obituary:
Saginaw News, Thursday, March 2, 1939
DORSEY H. HOLLIS
Dorsey H.(sic) Hollis, 52, Williamson road, died Wednesday at St. Mary's
hospital. Mr. Hollis was born Nov. 11, 1886, at Blairsville, Pa. In 1905 he
married Mill Leontine Casten at Blairsville. He came to Saginaw ten years ago
and has been employed as a foreman at the Chevrolet foundry. Mr. Hollis was a
member of the fMehodist Eposcopal church at New Kensington, Pa. He leaves
his wife; three sons and a daaughter, Paul, Arthemus, Robert Edward and
Dorothy; a brother, Benjamin Hollis of Blairsville and three sisters, Mrs. Ernest
Ripence of Saginaw, Mrs. H. L. Reid and Miss Charlotte Hollis of Blairsville. The
funeral will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Wallace & Honey funeral home.
Rev. Wilbur D. Grose will officiate and burial will be in Forest Lawn.
Some words on the trial of Paul Higgins for hit-and-run
It was in front of the Joseph Swarty farm that Dorsey was struck. The call
came to the police on the morning of March 1, 1939 about 7am.
Dorsey was found lying on ice covered ground and was completely
covered with snow. He had lain there long enough that he had melted down one
inch into the ice. In his pocket was found an envelope with his address and no
other identification at all. I speculate at this time that the envelope was his
notification of divorce filed by his wife.
He was supposed to have left home around 2:15 am to see a neighbor
named Buckner(s), yet he was found about a mile from home.
As to the trial itself it was a joke. The lawyers were the real trial with their
objections, lack of interest at reaching truth, and not being serious about justice.
Many of the witnesses took the Fifth. The testimony was contradictory without
being challenged. It was interesting that the judge did find Higgins guilty of not
giving aid!

Indiana Evening Gazette (July 7, 1953)
By BILL HASTINGS
Gazette Staff Writer
When the 1953-54 school term opens at Green Township High this September, a
familiar personality will be missing from the institution's hallowed halls.
Miss Thankful Clawson, English and Latin teacher for 34 years at the district high
school, will be missing from the scene that has featured her guidance of more
than 8,000 students in her career as an Indiana County school teacher.
The proverbial gimmick characteristic of high school teeners directing fun at their
tutor, "She (or he) has been here longer than the building," was seldom hurdled at
this affable Green Township educator simply because it was true.
When Miss Clawson launched her career at Green Township High School in the
fall of 1920, classes were held at Starford in a building now utilized as a grade
school. Construction on the new Green Township High School was completed a
year later and Thankful Clawson, then a veteran of 15 years of classroom
calamity, moved her texts to Commodore, site of the present building.
Her retirement this summer marked a termination, of 48 years of teaching,
including 39 years in Green Township school systems. "Oh yes, I've taught quite
a number of sons and daughters of former students of mine, "jostled the amicable
silver-thatched Miss Clawson yester day, "But I don't think any grandchildren."
Closer scrutiny reveals that the retired teacher, long-time favorite as senior class
advisor at Commodore, probably taught a number of "grandchildren" during her
career which spans 53 years of County history.
When 17-year-old Thankful Clawson passed an examination at Cookport
Academy in the spring of 1900, receiving a teacher certificate as her reward, it
was undoubtedly beyond her fondest expectations of establishing some sort of
record for durability as an Indiana County school teacher.
"That first year at Grisemore (1900-01) paid $25 a month," reminisced Miss
Clawson in her Marion Center home yesterday, "But then, I only paid $50 that
entire school year.
'I was located in Dixonville the next four years and once had 119 students,
sometimes, three in one seat, in a one-room school." Miss Clawson added, "Of
course, that was when the Dixonville mines were starting."
Answering an inquiry relative to "law and order" in a one-room school house with
119 students, the friendly teacher replied, "I confess that if I kept order, I didn't do
much teaching."
Upon completion of four years at Dixonville and an additional term at Idamar,
Thankful Clawson went to Houghton Seminary, N. Y., to pursue her high school
education. She didn't receive her diploma until 1911 after leaving school for a
three-year period to teach in Rayne and Green Townships, Indiana County.
After graduating; from Houghton, Miss Clawson taught in Wisconsin four years,
attended Taylor University at Upland, Indiana, and taught at Clymer High School
before accepting a position on the Green Township High School, faculty in 1920.
The first two principals she served under at Green Township High, Donald
Patterson and Dean Siverd, were her former students. Other principals during
her 34-year tenure included Mr. Fetterman, T. W. Fullerton and George Joiner.'
What about her best students at Green Township High School?
"I had so many of them," answered Miss. Clawson.
Edna Siverd, now Mrs. Jay Hiner, could read Latin as well as English. And then
were were Louise Lovick and Ed Leadbetter. Mrs. Hiner now teaches at
Dixonville."
And what about her students who entered the teaching profession.
"To mention a few, there's Gertha McAnulty (Green Twp.), Mary Bagley (Green
Twp.), Evelyn Nichol, Dean Siverd (Meadville), Milton and Gaylon Walker and
Donald Patterson, former County Superintendent of Schools."

Twp.), Evelyn Nichol, Dean Siverd (Meadville), Milton and Gaylon Walker and
Donald Patterson, former County Superintendent of Schools."
"I often wish I would have kept a record of my students," stated the soft-spoken
Miss Clawson.
It has been estimated that she taught, at a very minimum, about 8,000 students
and this figure [wouldn't include her advisees.
Thankful Clawson, daughter of Andrew Bingham Clawson and Martha Jane
Bolvin Clawson, was born on a farm near Dixonville December 27, 1883.
Her family heritage reveals her forefathers originally settled near Black Lick
before moving to Green Township.
As for the name, Thankful, a "natural" for her students to toy with, she says:
"It's a family name. My ancestors from England, a family of Davis, handed the
name down, generation to generation. ... I believe there were seven of my
ancestors with that name. It's a Puritan name."
While teaching, she utilized the summer vacations to attend the University of
Pennsylvania and Chicago University where she received her bachelor's degree.
Three summers of study at Columbia University New York, were added to her
educational background.
Her memory is rich with experiences of 53 years of teaching, but she eyes the
transition of a one-room schoolhouse to the present, elaborate educational
system with a calculated scrutiny.
'It seems to me that everything has to be done in the school room today because
of television.' I don't mean to condemn television, entirely. I also saw the
development of radio lessen a youngster's desire to read."
In her retirement at Marion Center, Miss Clawson is going to attempt to satisfy
her affinity for reading, a life-long pleasure for her.
After 48 years in the classrooms of, Indiana County, Thankful Clawson's
application for retirement was accepted by the Purchase Line School jointure last
month.
But retirement may not be easy for Miss Clawson as her love of the profession is
deep, best, told when she remarked, with a twinkle in her eye, "I liked seniors
but, to think of it, I liked all of them."

he attended a public sale on the the farm of Josph pHillips in theat neighborhood. While there he
acted queerly, wanted to fight somebody, but did not succee in his attempt. After the sale he went
to his home and got a shotgun and three loaded shells and going some distance from his home,
out along a public road he sat down on a stone, placed the gun against his breast and with a
forked stick pushed the trigger, the shot causing instant death. His body was found shortly

deputized to investigate the cause of death. Moorhead found the facts as above stated and
decided an inquest was not necessary. Wike is survived by hiswife but no children. (Indiana

Notes for Alfred Bruce Clawson:
General Notes:
The one story that I like to use about my grandpap Clawson is that he was
disabled by two different work related accidents. In one, he lost three fingers on
his right hand (occurred before 1918 according to a draft registration card) and he
had only his thumb and pointer finger. He had the other arm amputated above
the elbow in another work related accident when his shirt sleeve got caught in
some machinery. When he was in his sixties and seventies, he was the manager
at a Western Auto store in Seward, Pennsylvania. One day, a young guy came in
and pulled a gun on him and tried to rob him. I guess he figured he would be an
easy prey since he was old and disabled. My grandfather reached under the
counter and pulled out the gun (A 38, I believe) that he always had at the store
with him and told the guy that if he didn't leave the store in five seconds that he
was going to shoot him. This guy didn't expect this and he hightailed out the
store without ever trying to take my grandfather on. They caught this guy later
on. My grandfather could be downright stern when he needed to be but he was
still a fun person to be around. Also with his disabilities, he drove a standard shift
automobile most of his life. (Told by Keith Clawson)
As told by Bruce A. Clawson, when A. Bruce Clawson was growing up, he lived
with his parents near the Pennsylvania Railroad main tracks near Bolivar. When
walking the tracks such as to go into Bolivar, he would carry a loaded pistol. This
was due to number of hobos who would ride the freight trains that passed
through. The hobos were known to attack and sometimes kill people that they
would encounter along the tracks.
Another story told by Bruce A. was that A. Bruce and his brother Bobby (Ralph
Davis Clawson) were going through Oak Grove (north of Ligonier) in an

autoomobile one time. A. Bruce was driving the automobile. Someone ran from
the side of the road and hopped on the running boards of the automobile. A.
Bruce told his brother to get the man off the car and Bobby pushed him off the
car. Bobby then proceeded to fire a few shots from a pistol at this person's feet to
make sure he ran away and left them alone.

THOMAS PORTER CLAWSON, an agriculturist of Center township, Indiana county, was born
April 16, 1861, son of Daniel and Anna E. (Moses) Clawson. The first of the name in Indiana
county was Daniel Clawson, a native of Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., Pa., who settled in Blacklick
township, on a farm of 160 acres, being one of the pioneers of that region. On this property he
erected buildings and spent the remainder of his life in useful, peaceful pursuits, dying there; his
remains were interred in Bethel graveyard in Center township. He was a consistent member of
the Presbyterian Church. Daniel Clawson married Margaret Hollis, of Blair county, and their
children were: John; David; Ephraim, who located in Center township; Sally, who married John
Clawson, of Center township; and William, who was killed by a horse in childhood.
David Clawson, son of Daniel, was born in Hollidaysburg, Pa., and came to Blacklick township
with his parents. There he took up farming, and followed that calling all his life, spending his days
upon his farm, where he died, his remains being buried in the Jacksonville Presbyterian cemetery.
In politics he was a Republican. While residing in Blacklick he was married to Rebecca Ross,
daughter of John Ross, also of Blacklick township, and their children were: Daniel; Margaret,
Nancy and John, all three of whom died in childhood; David, who is still residing in Blacklick
township; Porter, who was in a Pennsylvania regiment during the Civil war, and now resides in
Cokeville, Pa.; Fergus; and Lucinda, who married Abraham Dingman.
Daniel Clawson, son of David, was born in Blacklick township, where he was educated, attending
public school. He remained on the homestead until the summer of 1863, when he enlisted, in
August, in Company K, 135th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, but was soon thereafter taken sick
and confined in Harwood hospital, where he died in October, 1863. He was buried at Washington,
D. C. Mr. Clawson was only thirty years old at the time of his untimely death. Politically he was a
Republican. The Methodist Church held his membership, and he was a faithful adherent to its
teachings. He married Annie E. Moses, of Bedford county, Pa., daughter of Jacob and Hannah
(Blake) Moses, and the following children were born of this marriage: Hannah Jane, deceased,
who married David Swoger; and Thomas Porter and Agnes, twins, the latter marrying George
Moses and residing in Cleveland, Ohio. On June 26, 1872, Mrs. Clawson married (second) Porter
Clawson, her brother-in-law, and they had two children: Nora, who married Stewart Wolford, of
Cokeville; and Edward, who resides in Blacklick township.
Thomas Porter Clawson, son of Daniel, continued under his mother's protection until be was
thirteen years old, when he went to live with his grandfather. There he learned farming from the
beginning, and after he married he bought thirty-two acres of land, a portion of the homestead,
and began agricultural pursuits for himself. Later on he bought the Rhea farm of 138 acres, and
there spent eighteen years, in 1902 selling this property to the Rochester & Pittsburg Coal
Company. He now owns the Lucas farm located near his old place.
In 1884 Mr. Clawson was married to Sarah A. Rhea, a daughter of Hugh Rhea, of Center
township. They had one son, Arthur, who married Effie Kerr, by whom be has had two children:
Miland and Wilbur, and lives in Jacksonville.
