WALTER SCOTT CLAYSON
The profession of law has in all ages and in every part of the civilized world attracted to its practice many of
the brightest minds and keenest intellects among the ambitious youths seeking the development of their talents
along congenial and favorable lines. Doubtless no calling presents greater difficulties at the outset, but in the
end to him who in patience runs his course there comes the reward of high professional standing, a satisfactory
financial success and a frequent association with movements for the permanent welfare of community and commonwealth.
Invariably men of the profession are to be found on the side of progress, interested in forward movements and contributors
to local measures of educational, civic or moral worth.
At the outset of his career as an attorney Mr. Clayson has won recognition among the rising young lawyers of Riverside
county and it is confidently predicted that the future holds successes for him along the line of his chosen calling.
His office is at Corona, where he has made his home since 1901 and where he has a large circle of friends and well
wishers. Born in Redwood Falls, Minn., January 25, 1887, a son of Walter S. and Charlotte P. Clayson, he received
a grammar school education in his native city. After the removal of the family to California in 1901 he entered
the high school of Corona and continued the regular course of studies until his graduation in 1905. Already he
had selected the law as his chosen work in life and his high school studies had been energetically carried forward
with that object in view.
After leaving the high school Mr. Clayson matriculated in the law department of the University of Southern California
and entered upon the study of legal authorities with ambition and perseverance. At the conclusion of the course
he passed a rigid examination and received his degree of LLB in 1908. Immediately afterward he was admitted to
the bar of California by the court of appeals and the federal court, since which he has engaged in professional
practice at Corona. In this place he is a leading Republican worker, a contributor to civic measures and a welcomed
guest in the most refined circles of society. Mr. Clayson is an enthusiastic worker in the Knights of Pythias lodge,
and at present is Chancellor Commander of Corona Lodge, No. 291.
