Brother is gone from our home but we hold him in our hearts.still.
Clayton was born near Sunny Lane in the house above. Of the eight children of Willis and Hazel Gaddy Powell, his birth was the only one for which our Father was not present. He did not reach 3 score and 10.
Clayton Willis Powell was born September 24, 1944. His father, Gilbert Willis, was 29 and his mother, Hazel, was 23. He was the father of one daughter, Esther Marie Powell. He died July 2, 2014, near Green Forest, Arkansas, at the age of 69.
When Daddy came home from the Navy, he brought Clayton the sailor hat. At least that is what I think.
Above Clayton is with our old Shepard dog and below with his brother, Richard and cousin, Frankie.
Here he is in 1972, with our baby sister, Debbie. Debbie has him tied up.
This was on his wedding day, August 1967. He was 22, and turn 23 the next month.
This is the little girl he loved so much.
