How Clyde Built His House!
During WW I Clyde Earnheart was in the Army, he was taught all about electricity. Clyde bought the farm one half mile south of the Pioneer School in 1929, then he sat about building a house. Clyde was really good at math, he sat down and drew up the floor plans for their house. Then he figured out how much of everything he was going to need, lumber, nails, shingles, ect, to build it. He went to Waukomis to the lumber yard, to put in his order. Clyde told the story that the man at the lumber yard told him he could not possibly have that all figured out correctly, and not to order all of it at once. What really troubled everyone in town was he ordered electric wiring and all the components that it would take to just hook the house up to electricity when they finally got the electricity out in the country where he lived. They did not even have electricity in town yet. (It was around 1929-1930). It took approximately 20 years before they got electricity sometime after WW ll. When the electric company came to the Pioneer Community, Clyde Earnheart was ready, He never had to go back to town to order nails even. He had the exact amount of lumber, nails, his wiring and the indoor plumbing stuff. He was a man of the future I guess you might say. Approximately 20 years later when the electric company in Oklahoma finally caught up, Clyde Earnheart was ready to go.
