According to Bonnie A. Hollick, Family Service, Richland Cemetery Association, Clarence John Shipley passed away January 2, 1943 and he was born in 1924. Father Claude Leonard Shipley was in charge of the burial.
Washington State Death Certificate confirms date of death as:
02 Jan 1943, age 19. (Which calculates for a birth of 1924).
My hypothesis for the discrepencies in the records is that since Clarence was born so close to 1924, that was remembered by his father as when he was born.
Addtionally, the stone engraver may have accidentally transposed the calculated birth year of 1924 for 1942 instead of 1943.
I am working to confirm a birth date.
