Poetic Obituaries: "Claude was always a real interesting

person to talk to," said [George] Haley. "He was very knowledgeable on town matters."

The mayor also said [Claude] Emerson had a good eye for appraising real estate.

"I always relied on Claude to give me a good evaluation of the town's needs," Haley said.

Emerson and his wife, Mollie, have a daughter, Claudia Emerson, who is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet.
