Clarence married Margaret DeHart from Ritzville, Washington on July 9, 1917. The couple did not have any children.
Clarence's father Walter Davis rode horseback all the way from Colusa County, California to the Palouse Country, to stake his claim in the 1870's. He returned to California to bring back his wife and their baby, Clarence. The family traveled north by wagon train to their Washington homestead. Walter was made 'Wagon Master' as he had already made the trek and knew the lay of the land. When they finally arrived it was too late in the year to build a house, so they dug into the side of one of the Whitman County hills and lived in a dugout the first winter. The next year, a proper home was built at the St. John Davis family homestead. There were 9 more children born in Washington Territory to Walter and Mary Elizabeth Davis. The family still owns 2 farmhouses on the property.
Clarence's father Walter and Mary Tuck, his wife, continued to farm and accumulated substantial farm land and grazing land in Whitman , Spokane , Asotin, Adams, and Garfield counties in Washington, and Latah and Nez Perce counties in Idaho. At the pinnacle of his land accumulation Walter owned over 30,000 acres. His wife Mary, died in 1914. His two youngest daughters were married in 1915 in a double wedding ceremony at his home in Asotin County (Clarkston, WA). In 1916 he married again to his nurse LaReina Dow at a civil ceremony in Spokane, WA.
Prior to his death in 1917, WALTER DAVIS gifted all of his sons the land that they were farming for him approximately 960 acres each. He placed the balance of his land and most of his money into a new company he formed and incorporated in Washington State called the Davis Land and Investment Company. A share was given to each child and he held one share himself. The Davis Land and Investment Company was primarily run by son JAMES MARION DAVIS until his death in an automobile accident in 1930 on Buck Canyon grade near Colfax, WA. The company had become leveraged with bank loans during the 1920’s and when the depression hit much of the land had to be sold to meet bank loan obligations. The company was finally dissolved in 1942 with 7 of the 10 surviving stockholders; (CLARENCE DAVIS, JAMES MARION DAVIS and EDWARD EMERSON DAVIS having already died). MABERRY Davis, the oldest surviving brother, was in charge of this process after the death of EDWARD in 1938 who had begun the process in 1937. Maberry and his sister Charlotte took deeded land in the settlement with cash going to the other shareholders.
