Note: Buried in Lot 2nd.228. His age on his Death Certificate is noted as 22 years, 11 months, 12 days, which would indicate he was born in 1911, however he appears in the 1910 census (taken April 26th, 1910) as being 1 year, 9 months old (and therefore born in 1908). Perhaps two or three siblings' births are being confused here. There's a notice in "The Fairfield Tribune" in early August, 1908, of a baby coming to the Dan BONNETT home, but no mention of the baby's gender or name. That noted, Clarence appears to be the youngest of his siblings, and I could find no story about him losing his sight that might better confirm his birthdate.
