Family members met together on 8 July 2006 to see the newly installed headstone for the two young daughters of Moses Clawson who were bured together in 1862. We listened to our piper play then we had a family prayer. We remembered that it was a tragic and sad Christmas in 1862.

Gary Edwin Elliott 11/8/1932 ~ 10/10/2010 FARMINGTON - Gary EdwinElliott, husband, brother, father, and grandfather, passed from the arms of his beloved wife, Sharon, to those of our Father in Heaven on Sunday, October 10, 2010. He lived a life of noble service to his family, fellowman, country, and God. His legacy of standing for right and living a life worthy of inspection before the Lord will be remembered and followed. Gary was born in Farmington, Utah on Nov. 8, 1932 to Walter and Earlene Elliott. He served an LDS mission in South Africa and upon his return married his sweetheart, Sharon Coombs, on Feb. 3, 1956. They filled their years together with love and laughter while raising their five children and serving God and country. From two tours in Vietnam to Chile and Panama, and from coast to coast, they enjoyed adventure and challenge. Gary compassionately touched lives whether as a Bishop, District President, or as a Casualty Assistance Officer notifying families of their sons or husbands lost in battle. He loved his men as sons whether marines or missionaries. While a Bronze Star and other Meritorious and Commendation medals adorn his uniform, we delight most in the light in his sparkling blue eyes. Lt. Col. Gary E. Elliott honorably retired from the United States Marine Corps after 28 years of service. He subsequently served as President of the Guatemala City Mission, Regional Representative to Logan and Brigham City, Ogden Mission Counselor over Spanish branches, Bountiful Temple worker, and Santa Clara Stake Mission Preparation Instructor. He is survived by his wife Sharon, and their children: Micheal G. Elliott (Annette) of Katy, TX; Deborah E. Allen (Mark) of Perry, UT; Sherry E. Southworth (Bob) of Eagle, ID; Mark N. Elliott (Sondra) of Auburn, KS; and Walter Wesley Elliott (Barbra) of Layton, UT; 27 grandchildren; seven great-grandsons; and his siblings: Max Elliott; Ross (Kathy) Elliott; Trudy Nelson (Michael). He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Norman, and grandsons, Gary Edwin Elliott and Ryan Elliott Southworth. Gary's message to us today is "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Go thou and do likewise. Semper Fidelis! Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010 at the Farmington Rock Chapel (300 N. Main, Farmington, UT), viewing from 11:00-12:45. There will also be a viewing Friday evening, Oct. 15, from 6:00-8:00 at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 1941 N. Main, Farmington, UT. A memorial service will be held in Santa Clara, UT at 3815 West Rachel Dr. at 6:00 p.m., Sunday, October 17, 2010. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the LDS Church Perpetual Education or Missionary Funds. Online guest book and condolences at www.russonmortuary.com

Eunice was the first child of Moses Clawson and Cornelia Brown. She was born 14 May 1822 in Dryden, Tompkins County, New York.

The family moved west to Steuben County, New York where her brother Ebenezer was born in October 1823. Four more brothers and a sister were born while living in Steuben County. In March 1835 (Eunice was 13) her parents joined the 'Mormons"". Her grandmother and stepgrandfather Lola and Josiah Richardson were also members as was her uncle, David Foote.

As part of the website redesign, we have launched the new message board.  You can visit the message board by going to http://forums.mosesclawson.com .  We hope that the forums become a way for people to connect and discuss items related to the family organization or research on the Moses Clawson family lines.
