Clayton Uran Obituary
Clayton was born May 31, 1917, in Princeton, Minn., to George Uran and Clara Wold Uran. He was a veteran of World War II, serving his country as a First Lieutenant in field artillery. He landed on Utah Beach, France, and fought throughout France, Belgium and Germany. His final commission was as a Lieutenant Colonel. Clayton then began a career in 1946 in land surveying and opened his own company in 1947 retiring in 1994. In October of 2002, Clayton received the prestigious Hugh L. George Award in recognition and appreciation of the outstanding retired surveyor of the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors. He was a Master Mason of James H. Lockwood Lodge 1343 and was also a Noble of the Mystic Shrine for 50 years. Clayton enjoyed playing golf and pitch with his buddies.
Clayton was truly a remarkable man and touched the lives of many people. Being a member of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit, he had the Lord in his heart.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Winnie Uran.
Clayton is survived by his wife, Maxine Uran; step-son, Davis Matteson and wife, Shirley; and several nieces and nephews.

To family and friends,
Mr. Uran was my very first "boss" in the whole wide world. Just 17 years of age and fresh out of high school, on my 3rd trip to his surveying office I literally begged him for a job and he finally hired me as a secretary/file clerk for $1.25/hour and I was thrilled! I will never forget him; in later years I used to see him occasionally at the Westview P.O. and he always had a smile for me.
