"Graveside services for Mrs. Daisy B. Claypool, 79, who passed away in Hillsboro, Calif., Sunday, Oct. 27, were held yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 4:30 p.m. in the Pinal Cemetery. Reverend Cecil Brown of the First Baptist Church conducted the services.
Mrs. Claypool, who was born July 27, 1878, had resided in Arizona for 62 years and was the first teacher at the George Washington School in Lower Miami. For over 30 years she and her late husband distributed gifts of Christmas candy to every student in the school.
The town of Claypool was named after her late husband, who died in 1955. He was a former member of the State Senate, the House of Representatives, and of the Arizona Corporation Commission. He was also manager of the original Claypool townsite, and the tunnel on the old highway between Miami and Superior was named in his honor.
Mrs. Claypool is survived by a nephew, Ralph Tupper of San Diego, and a niece, Mrs. Lyndon Clark of Hillsboro.
