"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 104, No 25, p 798, June 18, 1928.
Lewis Titsworth Clawson, son of Isaac and Ann Eliza (Titsworth) Clawson, was born at New Market, N. J., November 26, 1843, and departed this life May 27, 1928, at Brooklyn, N. Y., in his eighty-fifth year.
When but a young boy, Mr. Clawson was baptized and united with the old Piscataway Seventh Day Baptist Church. For about six years, while residing in Farina, Ill., he was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in that place. About fifty years ago, upon locating in Westerly, R. I., he united with the Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church, retaining his membership there to the end of his life. Forty years ago this church expressed its confidence in him by electing him deacon, in which office he was faithful and efficient.
Mr. Clawson enlisted August 1, 1862, and served in Company D, Eleventh New Jersey Regiment, until the end of the Civil War, being mustered out in June, 1865. He served as Mail Agent of the Army of the James and Potomac, and was in this position in Richmond at the close of the war. He was an honored member of the Grand Army of the Republic, serving in the various offices of Budlong Post, Westerly, R. I., being the Commander for a number of years. He also held offices in the state organization.
Mr. Clawson was united in marriage with Miss Amanda Langworthy, at Alfred. N. Y., July 8, 1866. Mrs. Clawson died May 26, 1911, just seventeen years and one day before his death. He is survived by their daughter, Mrs. Grace C. Burton, wife of Lewis Burton, and a granddaughter, Miss Lucille Burton of Brooklyn. Mrs. Burton's devotion to and care of her father in his declining years and during his long illness have known no bounds.
Mr. Clawson lived a consistent, upright, cheerful Christian life. He was never robust. His long life was due to good habits, and reasonable care of himself - in other words, to right living.
Farewell services were conducted by Rev. Harold R. Crandall, in the afternoon of Memorial Day, at the Funeral Home of Runyon and Son, in Plainfield, N. J. It was very fitting that the memorial services of this brother should be held on that day on which for so many years he had delighted in honoring the memory of his fallen comrades. Interment was in Hillside Cemetery, Plainfield.
