He was the son of Arthur Alexander and Katherine (Smith) Alexander. Clyde's death certificate lists his occupation as general labor as did an earlier city directory. His World War II Draft Registration shows he was working for Partners In Photography with carnival.
note: his Missouri death cert # 101672 says his mother was Katherine Smith. His father was listed in the 1930 Census as widowed. There is a 1925 Kansas State Census listing Arthur age 45, "Katie" age 36, Clyde age 3 and a Grace Berry age 16 listed as Arthur's step-daughter. The Kathryn Alexander listed in the 1940 and 1950 Census with Arthur was living with her mother-in-law, Ella Rice in 1925, and listed as divorced, so the Kathryn linked to Arthur on Findagrave is not Clyde Alexander's birth mother. Also, the year of birth for that Kathryn would make her 6 years older than "Katie".
1950 Census lists Clyde's wife Blossom, and daughters Lorraine age 4 and Betty Jane age 3. In the 1961 Kansas Census, the household has Clyde, Blossom, Lorraine age 15, Betty Jane 14, son Phillip E, age 6 and Timothy age 19 months. I couldn't find Blossom's maiden name.
