*Obituary
(By J. H. Bradford, extracted from The Arkansas Methodist Newspaper)
John F. Clanton, son of Thomas W. and Johannah E. Clanton, was born December 19, 1873 and died in peace September 24, 1903. He was married August 27, 1896 to Margaret E. Richard(s), again January 3, 1901 to Monterie P. Stanley. One child by each marriage survives him. Brother Clanton professed religion and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church South in 1894. He was a good man, as a citizen and neighbor, a dutiful son, an affectionate husband and father, a faithful Christian and loyal Methodist. An aged mother of 71 years, a devoted wife, two little girls, three sisters and two brothers, with many other relatives and friends, including his pastor, are stricken with sorrow because he is gone. But we shall see him again. Thank God for the hope of the resurrection. The large concourse of people attending his funeral indices his worth.
