Notes	2nd wife James H. Clatterbuck - Miss Katie Blythe 31 Dec 1898 H111 From his obit in 1915: his first wife was Miss Sarah C. Blythe, who died some years ago. His second wife, formerly Miss Katie Blythe, survives. From a History of NE Missouri, 1913 by Walter Bryan. "A publication like this nature exercises its most important function when it accords considerationi to those sterling industrial progress, who command the respect and confidence of their fellow men and who are representative of pioneer families of the section in whichthey have lived and labored to goodly ends. In Callaway county a prominant and honored citizen who well merits such recognition is James Henry Clatterbuck, who after long years of close and effective identification with the agricultural and stock growing industries in his native county, is now living virtually retired in the attractive little village of New Bloomfield, where in the enjoyment of the goodly things of life and the association of friends who are tried and true, he finds that his "lines are cast in pleasant places". He has been a career of well ordered industry, and he has not been denied the just reward of temporal independence and properity. James Henry was born on the old family homestead, about five miles west of the village of New Bloomfield, Callaway County on April 19, 1848, and is a son of William Getter and Caroline (Leopard) Clatterbuck, whose marriage was solemnized in this county. James Henry Clatterbuck's twin brother of Robert Thomas Clatterbuck, (who died in infancy) was reared under the sturdy discipline of the old home farm and his educational advantages in his youth were those afforded in the common schools of the locality and period. He made his independent effort count in the way of definate achievement and in the course of years he became the owner of a landed estate of three hundred and eighty seven acres. He made the best of improvements on this property and was long known as one of the successful and representative farmers and stockgrowers of Callaway county, where he gave special attention to the raising of high grade short horn cattle adn registered swine. He still retains in his possesion a find farm, and in March 1908 he removed from his rural estate to the village of New Bloomfield, where he has since lived retired from the active labors and responsibilities which so long demanded his attention. He gives a general supervision to the farm. Mr. Clatterbuck has lived a quiet and unassuming life but has stood exponent of loyal and ideal citizenship. He has not sought public office but has ever been ready to lend his aid in support of measures and enterprises advanced for the general good of the community, the while he ahs been found arrayed as a stanch advocate of the Democratic party. He is affiliated with the independent order of Odd Fellows and both he and his wife hold membership in the Baptist Church, as did his first wife. Mr. Clatterbuck was married to Miss Sarah Charlotte Blythe, who was born in Callaway County in June 1855, and who was summoned to the life eternal on March 3, 1880. The only surviving child of this union is Fannie E. who is the wife of Felix Bryan, a representative farmer in the vicinity of New Bloomfield. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan have five children: James M., Joseph Turner, Margaret, William and John Felix. On December 22, 1900, Mr. Clatterbuck wedded Miss Catharine Blythe as sister of his first wife. She was born May 25, 1867, and presides most graciously over the pleasant home, which is known for its cordial hospitality. She is a daughter of William and Maria (Coonce) Blythe, honored pioneers of Callaway County, where both continued to reside until their death. Mr. Blythe was born on April 26, 1825 and his wife of June 10th of that year."
