Biography

Clinton W. Pederson was born on May 27, 1935 in Minot, Ward County, North Dakota. He was the youngest child of Emil Pederson and Serina Nelson.

Clinton Pederson can be found at the age of 4 on the 1940 US census for Shealey Township, Ward County, North Dakota, along with his parents, Emil and Serina Pederson, and his older sister, Edith Pederson.

Clinton Pederson was married 1st in California to someone he called Nancy. This is from my own recollection, and I don't know her full name. This was probably during the 1960s, but my recollections are pretty vague and I was young. The marriage must not have worked out.

On July 1, 1972, he married for a second time to Francis E. Landon. He called her "Beth". (The spelling of her first name was taken from the "Findagrave.com website, and I don't know if the spelling given on the website is accurate or not. I do know he loved her dearly, and was distraught when she died.

According to the memorial posted on the Findagrave website, Clinton worked as a communications engineer for many years and was a member of the Chandler First Baptist Church.
