He is buried between his parents with his father to his right and his mother to his left. During Clinton's four day hospital stay, Clinton's father would drive from their home in Lizella to visit Clinton between farm chores. On the night of Clinton's death his father drove to the hospital as usual and then was heard shortly coming down the road towards the house. His mother, grandparents, first cousin and aunt could all hear the car coming and knew something was wrong. As his father neared the house he ran his car into a dirt bank and fell out wailing with grief. He was saying, "He's gone Bertha. He's gone". Clinton died from pneumonia according to his death certificate. Clinton's grandfather James Russell "Ruffin" Hudson tried to console Clinton's father Cawley by saying, "We have lost several of our children Cawley. You will get over it." Cawley's reply was, "But we only had one." Clinton and his father's sister Corrye's only son/child, Jonathan Earl Rucks were best of friends. After Clinton's death Earl became even more important in their lives. Clinton entered the hospital 4 July 1935. Earl died 4 July 1999. Clinton died 8 July 1935. Earl was buried 9 July 1999.
