Son of George Leaming and Juliette Mallory. Clay was a Jasper county judge from 1895-1896.
CLAY LEAMING - For fully two score years Mr. Clay Leaming has been representative citizen of McDonald township, Jasper county, Missouri and here he is engaged in general farming and stock-raising on a finely improved estate of two hundred and eighty acres of some of the finest land in this section of the state. He was the popular and efficient incumbent of the office of judge of the eastern district of Jasper county during the years 1894 to 1896 and in every possible connection has contributed to progress and improvement.
Judge Leaming was born in Tippecanoe county, Indiana on the 2nd of September, 1840 and he a son of George and Juliet Leaming, who on coming to Missouri, settled on McDonald township. The father followed farming as a vocation during the major portion of his active career and he died on the 14th of March 1879, his wife passing away on the 11th of December, 1901. The judge passed his boyhood and youth in the place of his birth, where he availed himself of the advantages afforded in the district schools. At the time of the inception of the Civil War he was engaged in farm work in Tippecanoe county, Indiana, but he immediately gave evidence of his intrinsic loyalty to the cause of the north by enlisting for service as a soldier in Company B, Seventeenth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. He saw hard service in West Virginia, pursued the rebels after the battle of Phillipi and remained in West Virginia until December 1861. Later the scene of his military operations was in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia, and some of the important engagements in which he participated were Perryville, Shiloh, Stone's River and numerous others. He was slightly wounded in a skirmish in West Virginia but was never seriously hurt.
He was mustered out of service at Columbia, Tennessee and received his honorable discharge at Indianapolis, Indiana in the year 1864. After the close of his military service Judge Leaming went to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where he took up and completed a commercial course in a prominent business college. In 1865 he went to Iowa, where he was engaged in farming until 1869.
Coming to Jasper county, Missouri in the latter year, he purchased a tract of eighty acres of land in McDonald township, where he has since maintained a high state of cultivation. In addition to general farming , Judge Leaming is greatly interested in the raising of thoroughbred stock and in both those connections he has achieved remarkable success.
At Rugby, North Dakota, on the 9th of September, 1903 was celebrated the marriage of Judge Leaming to Miss Nora V. West, a daughter of Charles and Isabella West, now of Montana. This union had been prolific of four children, whose names and respective years of birth are here - Henry C., 1904; George, 1906; Perry, 1907; and Reid, 1909.
[NOTE: We will also add his son Lester that was born in 1913 after Joel Livingston's book was published in 1912 and therefore not mentioned in the list of his sons.]
In politics Judge Leaming is a stalwart in the ranks of the Republican party and in 1894 he was elected judge of the ranks of the Republican party and in 1894 he was elected judge of the eastern district of Jasper county. He also served with the greatest of satisfaction in that office for a period two years. He is ever on the qui vive to do all in his power to advance the civic and material welfare of this section of this state. In all the relations of life he is honorable and straight-forward and as a business man and citizen is accorded the unqualified confidence and esteem of his fellow me. The Leaming family attend the Presbyterian church and they are popular factors in connection with the best social activities of their home communities.
