Ashland Progress
In the early morning of August fourth, nineteen hundred thirty-two, the spirit 
of John Clayton took its flight to God who gave it. John was nearing his twenty 
first year. He professed hope in Christ in his early teens, joined the Hatchett 
Creek Baptist church, and lived a life of service till his death. John was loved 
by the young people and was a leader. He was president of the young people's 
union at his church. The older people feel they have lost a real Christian 
comrade. He was beloved by all for his sweetness of nature and endearing 
personality. He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Clayton of Coleta; four 
sisters, Elenar and Dorothy of Orlando, Fla. Virginia and Clio of Coleta; two 
brothers, Printis of University, Fla. and Tilman of Coleta also a host of 
relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted from Bethlehem 
church. His pastor, Rev. W. R. Ingram in charge, and Rev. the Methodist 
minister, paid many beautiful tributes to the deceased and his family. We extend 
to his parents, brothers and sisters our deepest sympathy in this dark hour, but 
only God can give peace to their sad hearts. It was so sudden our lips said, but 
we know he is rejoicing with the angels in heaven. A Friend
