Life Story Narrative
When Carl Clinton was born on November 29, 1912, in Commerce, Texas, his father, Walter, was 23 and his mother, Lottie, was 20. His birth was preceded by his older sister, Thelma, who became the matriarch for his generation. Together, Walter A and Lottie had at least 8 children through 1931.
Although born in Parker County, Texas, Carl’s mother, Lottie Mae Claxton lived in Commerce after she married Walter and died there 16 Jan 1982 around the age of 38, when Carl was about 18.
Carl’s father, Walter A. ‘Walt’ Clinton, was born in Commerce, even though the Clinton family seems to have been living in Smith County, Texas before the Civil War. Carl’s father was referred to as ‘Papa’ Clinton, by the younger generation and had been an engineer for the St. Louis & Southwest Railway for several years. The family had lived in Tyler a generation earlier around the time and place where the railroad started before moving to Commerce. On March 10, 1929, Walter married again to Martha ‘Mattie’ HAMILTON Wall, whose first husband had died in a train accident. This marriage put Carl under the same household with members of the Wall family.
Records show that Walter A. died as the result of complications from misuse of alcohol, a common occupational problem for railroad employees. Descendants report that he was prone to domestic violence when he drank.
From Wikipedia, we learn the St. Louis Southwestern Railway of Texas, operated the lines of its parent company, the St. Louis Southwestern Railway within the state of Texas. The St. Louis Southwestern, known by its nickname of "The Cotton Belt Route" or simply the Cotton Belt, was organized on January 12, 1891, although it had its origins in a series of short rail lines founded in 1870 in Tyler, Texas, that connected northeastern Texas to Arkansas and southeastern Missouri. Construction of the original Tyler Tap Railroad began in the summer of 1875. The St. Louis Southwestern of Texas merged with the property of the Tyler Southeastern Railway on October 6, 1899. The property of the Texas and Louisiana Railway was acquired and merged on July 2, 1903.
In 1948 the St. Louis Southwestern of Texas operated a total of 856.82 miles of track. The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized St. Louis Southwestern Railway to lease the Texas company in December 1953. The lease was entered into on March 1, 1954 to maintain, operate and use properties of the company until July 1, 1990. The track miles of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway of Texas operated under lease by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway in 1967 were 753.74 miles. This was further broken down to Main line 558.87 miles and 194.87 miles of yard track and sidings.
The Southern Pacific Company gained Interstate Commerce Commission approval to control the Cotton Belt system on April 14, 1932 but continued to operate it as a separate company until 1992, when the SP consolidated the Cotton Belt's operations into the parent company.
Commerce, Texas had a hub for the railroad and provided employment for members of the Clinton family, including Carl. By 1940, Carl was still single and living at home, working as a brakeman on the railroad. It is unknown if he attended college at East Texas State, but his brother, John did.
From Carl’s nephew, Jerry Lytle, we have a quote: “When I was just growing up, my uncle played football for the college, in 1939. We lived over on Neal Street and he lived with us, John Clinton, he was a great athlete. When he went to the (military) service, he never came back (to Commerce). They (my uncles) were my heroes. I guess I just liked rough-and-tumble and pushing and shoving the big boys. It was just nature with me.”
By 1940, Clarence Lytle and his wife, Thelma, moved their family from Commerce to the Branom Community to a farm previously owned by the Cameron family. There, Clarence and Thelma set up a dairy farm, raised hogs, and cotton. Carl would have visited their home many times.
Carl and John both lived in Commerce, Texas, when the United States declared war on Japan just one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor that killed 2,400 Americans. Carl and John Clinton both served in the Coast Guard/Navy during World War II. Carl entered in the military on June 12, 1942, when he was 29 years old. He served in the Pacific front in the Iwo Jima area and was wounded in action.
From an internet website, we learned that the ships and craft of the amphibious forces, the Coast Guard discharged its most important role during the war - that is getting the men to the beaches and providing support. The largest Coast Guard-manned ships were the transports, and they played a vital role in landing operations such as Iwo Jima. Using more than half of its wartime personnel, the military service manned 802 Coast Guard, 351 Navy, and 288 Army vessels to support land, sea, and air forces in all combat theaters.
In January 1945, Carl mustered out in San Francisco as a Pharmacists Mate, 2nd Class and returned to Commerce, probably working for the railroad again where he would come to know and marry his first wife. This would have been sometime between 1948 and 1955.
1st Marriage
Carl’s first marriage was to Peggy Dean Taylor, whose first husband was employed by the railroad. She came with one daughter. Carl and Peggy had a set of twin daughters together, before they divorced.
2nd Marriage
By 1965, Carl Clinton married Margaret Bernice Haddock in Commerce, Texas. He was 53 years old. Together, they had one son, Clarence J G Clinton, born on December 21, 1966, in Commerce, Texas.
As mentioned, Carl’s sister, Thelma became the matriarch of the extended family and helped raise Carl and his brothers. An example of the mutual affection between the Lytles and the Clintons was expressed in the following stories:
Carl was so fond of Clarence that he named a son after him. This kid, now a grown man, says it best,
“…I am named after Uncle Clarence. My full name is Clarence Julian George Clinton. He was like a grandfather to me.”
Jerry Lytle went on to say, “Uncle Clarence and I had a very special bond and I loved him so.”
“Carl Clinton thought my daddy (Clarence Lytle) hung the moon. When he was picking a cemetery lot out at Mt Zion, he stood over the lot he picked out and said, ’I can stand right here and see Clarence’s house’.” There were no trees standing in the way back then.
These comments help illustrate the depth of love and affection that connected the Lytle and Clinton families.
Death
M. Carl Clinton died on September 11, 1989, when he was 76 years old. During the course of his life, Carl followed in his father’s footsteps by working for the railroad, served his country during World War II, married two times and left a son named after the people he loved. He was buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery in the Branom Community in spot he picked out where he could see the Lytle farm toward the western horizon.
Burial
His gravesite can be found in the Northeast section, row 7, lot 27, resting next to his wife, Margaret HADDOCK Clinton.
