Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett (1892)
"I was, also unfortunate in losing the identity of Clayton's grave. He was buried at Sugar Grove, and I had a tomb stone and materials to enclose his grave and a man paid to put them up which he was to do after I went to Denver, but he neglected it and when I returned I could not identify his grave. I have the names of my wife and Clayton Webster both on the monument in Aledo Cemetery."

Clayton is actually buried at Sugar Grove Cemetery located 3 miles north of Aledo. However, his father Isaac was unable to located his grave in Sugar Grove. There is a gravestone at Aledo Cemetery for Clayton.
