After residing there nine years they came to Dade County, Mo., and were among the first settlers of this vicinity. Gui Clopton died here in 1839, and his wife, Mary, died in 1879, at the age of ninety-two years. Both were of English descent. R. G. Clopton, father of the subject of this sketch, is still living, and is engaged in the mercantile business with his son. He was a mule-trader during the war, and, in 1862, was captured by a rebel squad, who, after discovering that he had money, relieved him of $300, and then allowed him his liberty. After reaching home he discovered that he had about $100 which they had failed to find. His wife, Elizabeth (Fanning) Clopton, was born in Tennessee in 1829, and is yet living.

Gaunt, who was to him a faithful companion for forty-one years and who survives him.  Two sons were born to them:  O. G. Pemberton of Seybert and John D. Pemberton of the home address.  He fell peacefully asleep July 26th, 1929, after a short illness, after having lived for nearly 76 years on the farm where he was born.  In the passing of this good man, Dade County has lost an old and honored citizen, one who was active in earlier affairs of the county and who was familiar with Dade County's history back to the days of the Civil War.  A quiet, unassuming man, he was always to be found on the right side in all the affairs of his community and county.  His kindly disposition won for him the lasting friendship of all who formed his acquaintance.  In the immediate community he knew the history of its activities and its people, and his counsel was eagerly sought by the younger generation.  He was a good neighbor, a good husband and father, an honorable and upright citizen who will be sadly missed and whose place it will be hard to fill.  The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. M. Vanhooser, at the home, and he was laid to rest beside his father and mother in Downing Cemetery.  Peace to his memory."

Sullivan, pastor of Park Methodist church, at his residence.  Members of the pastor's family were the only witnesses.  For her marriage the bride wore a chic frock of brown taffeta, with all accessories to match.  Returning to Whittier, Mr. & Mrs. Bell had intended to keep their marriage a secret until the first of April, but changed their plans and revealed the happy story today, and are receiving congratulations from their many friends.  The bride is the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. A. H. Montgomery of 325 North Friends Avenue.  She has lived in Whittier eleven years, and is a graduate of Whittier High School.  For the past three years she has been a faithful helper in the Poinsettia Sweet shop, where her good nature won her many friends.  Mr. Bell came to the city from Ventura about six months ago, where his parents have lived for some thirty-odd years.  He is employed with the Pacific Petroleum company with headquarters at Santa Fe Springs.  The couple will remain in Whittier through March, then plan to make their home in Long Beach.  Ventura folks were quite as surprised as Whittier ones when Edward Bell arrived here last Saturday afternoon accompanied by his bride.  While the family knew the marriage was to take place some time, the actual date proved a real surprise.  On Sunday relatives gave a fine barbecue in the newlyweds honor.  This was at Foster park, and about fifty guest[s] were present."
