Description
A fragment of an interview with Clifford Clayton as part of the Chaires-Capitola project. Clifford Clayton, maiden name Clifford Boyd, was the wife of Marvin Clayton. Her father was Wilford D. Boyd and her mother was Nellie Whiddon Boyd. The full interview is unavailable, but in this section she begins to talk about her family. Her obituary states: "A lifelong resident of Leon County, she moved to the Capitola area in 1919 after the family farm on WW Kelly Road was sold... Clifford's mother, Nellie Boyd, taught her to play the piano, and in 1928 became the pianist at Capitola Baptist. She also served in many other capacities as intermediate Sunday School teacher, Training Union director and the church clerk for 30 years. Mrs. Clayton was also a clerk for the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office for several years, retiring in 1975."
