Narnie Clardy (1896-1946)

Narnie Clardy was born on September 3, 1896 in Missouri.  She was the daughter of Willis Bowen Clardy and Evaline “Eva” Gabriel.  Narnie was raised in St. Michael, Madison County, Missouri.

Narnie married Edward Nichols Paxton around 1913, probably in Jackson County, Missouri.  She was 17 years old and he was 20 years.  Edward was born on March 13, 1893 in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, the son of John Gallatin Paxton and Mary Neil Gentry.

Edward and Narnie were the parents of three children:

Edward C. Paxton                born May 16, 1916
John Gallatin Paxton          born September 19, 1919
William Clardy Paxton        born May 2, 1928

Edward registered for the draft for the First World War on June 5, 1917 in Jackson County, Missouri.  At that time, he and Narnie were living at 515 N. Pleasant Street in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri.  Edward was employed as an Auto Merchant at the Paxton-Duke Motor Company in Independence.  He was listed as a Corporal, having served three years in the 3rd Regiment in Missouri.  He claimed exemption from the draft, as his left foot had been amputated at the arch.  He was described as of medium height and build, with blue eyes and light brown hair.  Edward did not serve in the war.

In 1920, Edward and Narnie were still living in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, where Edward managed a garage.

By 1930, Edward and Narnie and their children were living on North Delaware Street in Blue, Jackson County, Missouri.  Their home was valued at $12,000 and Edward was working as a lawyer.

Edward Nichols Paxton died on June 8, 1937 in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri.  He died as a result of a cerebral hemorrhage.  Edward was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri.  He was 44 years old at his death.

Narnie, now a widow, was living in a home on North Union Street in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri in 1940.  Listed in her household were her two sons, John and William; and her widowed mother. 

Narnie married again on August 28, 1943 in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  She married Montrose Mortimer Boggess, a widower.  This was his third marriage.  Montrose was born on May 7, 1888 in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  He was the second of nine children born to Earle Montrose Boggess and Hattie A. Gaugh

Narnie Clardy Paxton Boggess died two and a half years later, on January 19, 1946 in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri.  She died of a cerebral hemorrhage due to malignant hypertension.  She was laid to rest beside her first husband, Edward, in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri on January 23, 1946.
