	12	iii.	Leo C. Irwin, born Abt. 1918 in TX; died 12 June 1944 in Florence, Italy.

Notes for Leo C. Irwin:
Leo didn't want to go to war and when he was drafted he ran away to MO to get counsel from his "Uncle Dick (Scotty Clay). He stayed with us about a month, continually counseling with my dad. He went back to TX and was immediately shipped out for his initial training. Besides being trained as a groundpounder he became a cook. I suppose he thought that he would be a non-combatant and not be right on the front line. He was sent to Europe and a couple of weeks after arriving he became a casualty of the war he didn't want anything to do with. He was not on the front lines when he died. I remember him as a young man, rather slim and handsome and very fussy about his appearance. Its a shame he was taken from us at such an early age.

Census Note: William, Lois and Ida Clarine are living at 402 North Poplar St. in Lamar City in 1930.

Author's Note: William Jasper "Bill" Clay was a preacher and a barber for many years in the town of Lamar, MO. He and Lois were god-fearing folk and he preached the gospel as no other. Aunt Lois could sing the gospel like no other. You could always hear her strong voice above all others. They made a pair, my Aunt and Uncle. Because I smoked, Uncle Bill would always tell me I was doing the work of the Devil and would surely burn in Hell. I can never forget my uncle because of his bald head and him a barber. That's not the only thing as there are so many more fond memories of him and my aunt. In 1958,
when returning from a vacation in Arkansas I stopped at my Uncle's home and found that Aunt Lois had died several days earlier. I had not even been aware that she was ill. Uncle Bill was doing well, but you could tell he had lost his help-mate. That was in 1958 and several years later he took a second wife, Pearl (Peterson) Koch who was a long-time friend and neighbor to them. I only met her one time when I took my mother on a visit to Lamar. When she died in 1988, Uncle Bill went to live with his daughter Ida Clarine and her husband Glen Brown in Russell, Kansas where he spent his last days. He died in 1993 at the age of 95 years. Uncle Bill is buried along side his wife Lois, my aunt, in Lake Cemetery, Lamar, Barton Co., MO.
