You can view the whole yearbook here or if you want to view part 1 of this series, you can click here.

Part one is seniors 1-10, this post will be seniors 11-

11. Paul A. Clayton

Paul Anthony Clayton
born: 25 Aug 1915 in Cincinnati, Ohio
died: 29 May 1999 in St. Petersburg, Florida, age 84

Parents: Thomas Clayton & Freda Ludwig

It doesn't appear that Paul ever married or had children but one consistent woman in his life was the woman by the name of Maud.


In 1942, his WWII draft card states that he was living at 2332 Hoover Ave in Dayton, Ohio and working at National Carloading Co. (not sure if I read this correctly). The person on the card "who will always know your address" is a Maud Sullivan, listed as his landlady. 

I think I'm going to write a separate post with the whole research project that followed- look out for it.

Paul died in 1999 at the age of 84 and is buried with Maud in the Curlew Hills Memory Gardens in Palm Harbor, Florida.
