Kind(er):
Went to Douglas County, WA with children in 1887 (after Elvira died) ontrain (Northern Pacific) which was put through to WA in 1885-6. Accordingto Fred Phillips' (his son's) autobiographical paper, Fred had precededClayton to Washington Territory in Feb of 1886 (6 months before Elviradied). Went back to Miller county, MO with "younger children", probablyJoseph and Myrtle, in 1888 to sell the property in MO. He fell throughthe ice in a river, got pneumonia, and died at his brother-in-law JohnWeitz's house. When great grandfather Fred went back on the train, therewas only $25 from the sale of the property--the relatives in MO took therest--was this where the bad blood with the Weitz branch started??
Joined the Union Army at the age of 14 with his father. Served with ECompany, 6th Missouri Calvary. Was court martialed for not firing onConfederate troops during a battle and reduced in rank from Sgt. Major toCorporal.
My family always thought of Clayton as a no-account, Mississippi Riverboat gambler. However, his obituary stated that he was a school teacher,an owner of a Mercantile, and "the most prominent Republican in MillerCounty, MO." Our impression of this came partly from Frances Lew,who-although a good friend of the family-was a Weitz and her informationmay have been colored by the bad family feelings. The Weitz's wereDemocrat/Confederate oriented during the Civil War in Missouri. Claytonwas Republican/Unionist which may explain a good part of the bad blood.

The Yakima County Territorial Census, as typed up by Yakima GenealogicalSoc. 1871 1883 1885 1887 (the Phillips family is found in the 1887section):
Phillips, P S, 26 m, Farmer, MO....................assume this is T S(Tilton), would have been 26 in Aug 1877
..............C S, 39 m, Farmer, NY.....................assume this isClayton Seymore, 40 in Feb 1877
..............Fred, 18 m, s, MO,,,,........................Fred, 18 inFeb 1877
..............Sadie, 15 f, s, MO............................Sara Jane(Sadie), 14 in May 1887
..............Ina, 12 f, MO.....................................Ina, 12in Mar 1887
..............Oliver, 9 m, MO................................Oliver, 11in Jun 1887
..............Joseph, 7 m, MO..............................Joseph, 8 inDec 1887
..............Myrtle, 4 f, MO..................................Myrtle, 5in Aug 1887
Note: According to Clayton's obituary, Tilton was known to be inWashington Territory; therefore assume "P S" is a mistake; should be "TS" for Tilton Shattuck Phillips. Do not know which month the census wastaken, but no month would make all of the ages shown on the census agreewith what I consider to be the "real ages".
