Tomlinson, Clarence Walter
Clarence Walter Tomlinson (March 23, 1888 - October 5, 1955) was an American civil servant and city administrator active in Miami Beach, Florida, in the early to mid-20th century. Tomlinson was born in Wichita, Kansas. After living briefly in Chicago, he relocated to Florida in 1907 to take a position as a timekeeper on the Florida East Coast Railway's 'overseas' extension to Key West. He returned briefly to Chicago, but was once again drawn to Florida in 1919 to work for his former manager at the FEC, W. E. Brown. Brown was involved with the efforts to develop Miami Beach. On August 4, 1920, Tomlinson took a position as assistant City Clerk under J. F. Canova. Later in the same year, he was elected to the position of City Clerk. He remained in this position for the next 35 years, until shortly before his death.
