Lesta attended Coffey School in Plum Valley near Dykes, Missouri finishing the eighth grade. Not long after, she again attended the eighth grade to prepare to teach for a short time at the very same school. In childhood she accepted Jesus as her savior and was baptised in the Roubidoux Creek. Sometime in her teens she saw Alfred Clayton and decided that he would be the man she would marry. They were married in 1921. To this union their first child Robert was born in Bucyrus.
Only a year or two after this event, they moved to the Kansas City area to seek gainful employment. Celeste learned to sew and became a seamstress sewing various parts of mens suit coats for Lee Walds in KCMo. She loved making clothes for her two young grandchildren. They wore these clothes mainly on Sundays because she took them to Sunday School and Church service every week. Living and working most of her life in KC, she retired in 1964 and with her husband came back home to live in Bucyrus just across the gravel road from the post office. In her later years, she loved to sew, crochet, work in the vegetable garden, and fish. She never drove an automobile and always acted about half frightened to ride in one. She would frequently put on the brakes with her feet to the floorboard of the passenger side. But her most cherished things to do in life were reading her Bible and attending church services in KC and at Bucyrus Baptist Church. She was a wonderful and loving woman who will always be remembered and loved by those who knew her.
If she isn't in heaven with the Lord, then most of us don't have much of a chance being there either. It's rather easy to see, I was very fond of my grandma.
