• Notes

  Widower. Wife apparently died when kids were little. Brother Hugh and his wife Lyda moved in with Clarence and Lyda took care of the 4 girls. Lyda once told the kids they may be sent to live elsewhere. Looks like she may not have been too nice to them. She said Opal could find a place because she was old enough to work, Mary could find one because she was cute, Marjorie one because she was a baby, but Ella couldn't because she was not cute and was too young. Story told to Kristina Sutton by Ella in 1993.
