No. Yarmouth-Clayton Boylston Barter passed away on November 25, 2008. Clayton was born on November 13, 1919 to Fred N. Barter and Myrtis M. Libby, the third of four sons. Clayton started school at age four and attended one room schools until beginning high school at North Yarmouth Academy. He walked to and from high school every day unless he managed to hitch a ride. He dropped out after completing his second year to get a job to help his family, as was common during the depression. He prided himself on being a strong and able worker. He served in the US Army in Belgium, England, Germany and France during WWII as an ammunition truck driver. He was a lifelong Democrat and always urged his family to vote. Community service was very important to him. He was a charter member of the North Yarmouth Fire Department and helped to start the North Yarmouth Rescue Service. He ran Beano one Saturday each month to raise funds for the fire and rescue. He at one time served on the planning board and budget committee for the Town of North Yarmouth. He has been a mechanic, a truck driver, carpenter, road commissioner and was sexton of the Walnut Hill Cemetery for more than thirty years. He had many good friends over the years who would stop in for a game of cribbage or to pitch a quick game of horseshoes. Until May of this year, he and his friends still got together weekly for card night. Clayton is survived by his wife of nearly sixty years, Hilma (Mary) Brown Barter of North Yarmouth, who he married on January 15, 1949. He is also survived by his stepson Woody Brown of Windsor, Illinois, stepdaughter Penny Megquier of Gray, daughter Polly Grindle of North Yarmouth, son Fred Barter of North Yarmouth, along with their spouses and partners, and several grandchildren, great grandchildren and some who were like grandchildren. He was predeceased by his youngest daughter Becky Grass of North Yarmouth in 1994 and his grandson Sam Megquier in 2008. He was the Patriarch of the family, all of us called him Pa, some called him Par. He was always there instantly when any of us needed anything. We all miss you and will love you forever Pa.
