R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Since the establishment of Weslaco on December 31, 
1919, there have been several constants in the city's rich and 
ever-changing history, including life-long resident Mrs. Yuval 
Clayton, who has the distinction of being the first baby born in the 
community after the city was founded; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Clayton is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. 
King, farmers who moved to Texas from Los Angeles in search of 
better agricultural opportunities; Mrs. Clayton and the city have 
grown up side by side, and this distinguished woman takes great 
pride in having witnessed the transformation of Weslaco from a tiny 
settlement to a thriving community; and
	WHEREAS, Inspired by her childhood teachers to become an 
educator, Mrs. Clayton attended Edinburg Junior College and Sul 
Ross State University after her 1937 graduation from Weslaco High 
School; although faced with the severe economic hardships of the 
Great Depression, she labored tirelessly to earn money for her 
tuition and actualize her dreams; and
	WHEREAS, Wife of Abner E. Clayton and loving mother to Nancy 
and Mary Louise, Yuval Clayton is a truly notable source of 
invaluable information about the history of her hometown; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor Yuval Clayton and 
extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mrs. Clayton as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
