Notes:

Name:
Clinton Leon Grubaugh was born to Eugene Franklin Grubaugh and Josie Evelyn Main on 26 Jul 1928 in Great Bend, Barton, Kansas. He died just 10 months later. He was the only child of Eugene and Josie. His tombstone is clearly written "Cliton" Leon Grubaugh, but he was undoubtedly named for his maternal grandfather, Clinton Lee Main, and the typo in the tombstone was never repaired.

Obituary:

Some weeks ago he contracted a cold, which developed into pneumonia, and this proved fatal Sunday night.
He leaves to mourn his loss, his father and mother and grandparents Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Main, and a great grandmother, Mrs. Emma Herrell
Although his little life on earth was short, he brought sunshine and gladness, which is now changed to sorrow.
