Twin Sister of Sewell Smith
Wife of Bruce Clayton
Mother of Osie Lee Haynes, Alma, Eliza Granville and Ozias.
Clayton, Etna
Sister Etna Clayton was born on September 22, 1880, and departed this life on September 2, 1903. She was married, to Brother Bruce Clayton, on September 6, 1897. Her maiden name was "Smith." She obeyed the gospel early in life, and was ever afterwards a devoted and consistent Christian. She left a husband, three little children (two girls and one boy), a father, a mother, and several brothers and sisters, to mourn her departure. Just one month and one day after Sister Clayton's death her little daughter, Eliza Granville Clayton, about eighteen months old, went to join her mother in the home of the soul. We sorrow for the loved ones who have passed away, but not as those who have no hope. We believe that if we continue faithful unto death, we shall meet our loved ones, with all the redeemed, in that blessed home which Jesus has gone to prepare for his faithful children, where we shall dwell forever. May God help us to be faithful.
