    W. Y. (Buck) Clay Goes To His Reward

    W. Y. (Buck) Clay, aged 71 years and a little more, passed away at his home in Dixon Springs Friday afternoon, March 25, 1932 and was buried in the family square in the Dixon Springs cemetery Saturday afternoon, after services conducted by his neighbor, J. M. Cox. Judge Webb Allen spoke briefly about the prominent virtues possessed by Mr. Clay, especially stressing his unfailing devotion to Mrs. Clay at all times.

    Mr. Clay was born and reared in the Defeated section of the county, attended school there and also was a pupil in the famous Clark & Watts school at Elmwood. He taught school for awhile; he served the third district in the county court for a few years. He married Miss Anne Kittrell of Pleasant Shade and to this union eight children were born, of whom the following survive; Mrs. Robert P. Gann of Lebanon, Hudy and Wirt Clay of Nashville, Mrs. Carter Wells of Lenoir City, and Robert Clay of Dixon Springs. They were all present at the funeral except Hudy, who was absent on account of illness.
    Buck Clay served Smith county as trustee in a most acceptable manner during the years 1903-4. He was a man of big affairs in his young days. He was engaged in the log business, was an up-to-date farmer and livestock dealer, and sold the first farm that brought $100 per acre in Smith County. He had just about the best appointed farm in the county. It was situated on Lover's Lane near Dixon Springs and was for many years a show place. No family dispensed hospitality in a more generous degree than did Mr. and Mrs. Clay. They gave to their children a happy childhood which will always be looked back to with fond recollection.

    Mr. Clay was a descendant of soldierly stock. His father, Dr. Paul Clay, had a commission as Sergeant in the Confederate army. His mother was a sister to several West brothers, among them being Capt. Drury West and Capt. Ridley West who were Confederate soldiers. Mr. and Mrs. Clay had the distinction of furnishing a son, Wirt Clay for the World War. He with John Dilehay and Hubert Turner, were the first soldiers selected to go from Smith County. All three of them went to France, returning and still survive. Mr. Clay had no patience with anyone disposed to apologize for the convictions and conduct of rebel soldiers and he was severe in excoriation those termed slackers during the war, whether at the front or at home.

    Mr. Clay always had a pride in the appearance of the cemetery at Dixon Springs and in his declining months gave a good deal of his time to the improvement of the cemetery.
