At his death, in August, 1879, the following notice appeared in the Lexington Observer and Reporter, written by Colonel John O. Hodges, a comrade in arms:

Colonel Littleberry Bedford Clay, Confederate States Army, died in this city Monday night, at the residence of his son, Samuel Clay, junior, in the eighty-first year of his age.

Colonel Clay was a native of Bourbon County, Kentucky, but for many years before the war lived in Cass County, Missouri. There, under the call of the Governor of the State, in June, 1861, he took the musket of a private soldier, and did brave and generous duty throughout the longest and most arduous service of the late civil war. At Independence, Missouri, June 17th, he stood in the front ranks, and was among the first to advance when General Marmaduke gave the command. Again at Camp Cole, the next day, he was to be found in the lead. In this way he followed the fortunes of Marmaduke, General Joe Shelby, Sterling Price, General Raines, and Kirby Smith to the end of the war, and was among the last to lay down his arms when peace was declared. Four times during Missouri's desperate struggles was he wounded, and that seriously. During the contest around the fortifications of Lexington, lasting from September 12th to the 20th, he was ever in the front, and there received a dangerous wound in the head. Two days before he had been wounded in the leg, but not so seriously as to keep him from the front. At Carthage and at Wilson's Creek he was in the thickest of the fray, and was not a hundred yards from the spot where General Lyons fell. At Pea Ridge he was again wounded, but not so seriously as at Lexington. Those who stood by him in the field, and those who knew him in camp, with one accord agree to both his courage and his generosity, and many a brave heart will be pained by the information of his death. His remains will be taken to the family burying-grounds in Bourbon County today for interment. Peace to his ashes."
