Clarence enjoyed his vocation of farming and always enjoyed the outdoors. He was an avid hunter, loved fishing and even in late years, you could set your watch when he walked uptown each day to get the mail.
He is survived by his wife Lora, one son Ivan, his only daughter Mildred, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He will be missed by a host of friends and neighbors in and around Earlham.
He was a member of the Earlham Friends church and was regular in attendance before his last illness which brought him in his last days to the Madison Manor North nursing home in Winterset. His wife Lora remains in that home.
