MATHIAS S. CLAWSON

Walnut Hill Cemetery
Pottawattamie County, Iowa

This tall gray stone is off its base and currently lying on the ground. The inscription is losing its clarity. The inscription at the bottom of the stone's face reads "M. S. Clawson 1826 - 1912 and Fannie, his wife, 1835 - 1891" The top of the stone has an open book on a slanted top. The upper two-thirds of the stone face is an elaborate sketch with what appears to be a partially open gate behind a fence. In the opening between the gate doors may be a crowned face and above that the arched words "Perfect Peace" at top and right. I cannot determine if there is a preceding word to the arch left. Section 07, lot 200, graves 1 and 2. The cemetery burial book shows lot 200 is also the burial place for E. F. Clawson and Winifred Clawson, both unmarked. Also, the book shows Edmund W (infant) Clawson with a burial #0.116 while Fannie is #0.117 indicating they were buried at the same time.
