Clayton Wright's Death: "Book A, Death Certificate No. 737; Document is incorrect giving Clayton's place of birth as SOUTH Carolina. Otherwise everything else appears to be correct. Actual cause of death was perityphlitis [the old name for appendicitis] inflamation of the appendix.
His brief obituary read as follows "Clayton Wright died July 18, 1885 at his home; he was attended for 33 days prior to his death by Dr. John Hunt. He died of old age, senility." [at age 77]
Clayton is buried at Antioch Cemetery,(as stated on his death record) but no headstone is evident. It's believed he may have divided all his property prior to his death, as there was no will and no probate documents have been found. If Clayton and Sarah Wiley Wright had a tombstone it may have been one of the old sandstones which are no longer legible.
Information was provided 18 December 2009, by Ms Micki Faruzzi, Hamilton County Genealogical Society (located upstairs at Public Library).
Clayton was born about 1805. He passed away about 1885.
