The Lake Odessa Wave & Times, Thursday, September 13, 1934
Clair H. Sexton, son of Mrs. Mary Sexton of this village, died at the village 
hospital Thursday evening after lying in a coma since early Sunday morning.  
His death resulted from diabetes with which disease he had had a battle of 
several years.

Clair had attended the Ferris Institute as a young man and later had been 
employed by the Pere Marquette R.R.  In 1910 entered the army of the World 
war, where he contracted tuberculosis, and received a medical discharge.  
After returning home he took up the agency for autos and insurance to aid as 
far as health would permit in his and his mother’s support.

Mr. Sexton went to Lansing Saturday and on his return late in the evening was 
taken ill and removed to the hospital.  His father Bert Sexton died several 
years ago.

He was 38 years of age.

The funeral was largely attended at the home Sunday afternoon.  Rev. Fay C. 
Wing of Woodland officiated.  The music was by Mrs. Marinus A. Hoffs and Mr. 
and Mrs. R. W. Goodemoot.  The American Legion post here acted as bearers and 
escorts.  Burial was at Lakeside with full military honors.

Clare H. Sexton was born in Sebewa, April 20, 1896, living there until 1917 
when with his parents Burton and Mary Sexton he moved to Odessa township, 
later to the home in Lake Odessa where he lived until his death September 6, 
1934.  Surviving are his mother, three sisters, Mrs. Maude Oles, Mrs. Mable 
Valentine, and Mrs. Zella Hazzard of Lake Odessa, and one brother Vern Sexton 
of Lansing.

Card of Thanks:

We wish to thank the friends and neighbors, the American Legion, Rev. Fay C. 
Wing, and those who furnished music, for all the kindness, sympathy, flowers 
and services rendered at the time of the illness and death of our son and 
brother.

Mrs. Mary Sexton and children.
