Information: OBITUARY  - (by Dr. Ray Kessel)  Florence Eleanor, daughter of T. Clayton and Mamie Parsons, was born June 6, 1920, and departed this life October 30th, 1920, age 4 months and 24 days.  She is survived by her parents and two brothers, Staats and Talmadge Clayton, Jr., an infant sister, Mary Virginia, who preceded her to the better land some twelve years ago.  She came as a welcome guest into this family when the June buds were opening their soft pedals, and remained with them until the stinging frosts of autumn chilled the buds and flowers of summer.  Being the only daughter in the home, naturally, the family bestowed a great amount of attention and love upon her and earnestly looked forward to the time when she would occupy an active part in the household.  Florence Eleanor's  earthly existance was but a short time.  Her loving parents exerted every possible effort to make her comfortable, and in her recent illness did all that they could to combat  the icy hands of death.  Why this daughter and sister was called away, not one of us can tell.  But with faith in the religion of the man of Galilee, who walked among little children and blessed them, we shall believe that Florence Eleanor was transplanted to a better land, and that God is overhead and as life is to the living so death is to the dead.   *Mamie Parsons  was a Staats.
