Clarence was my Father. He married my Mother-Eula and they separated when I was 3 years old. Divorce followed.
I never knew much about him or any of his relatives. Being so young it is hard to remember much but I do have a picture in my mind the last time I saw him at his Mothers house. My Mother never spoke of him or his family. I did not know my Grandparents names. I learned what I know of him through Findagrave members helping my husband Ralph. Don't know where he is buried. I never saw him again. When my Mother died amongst her possessions I found a picture of my Father. I look just like him. I often wondered if he ever thought of me. I did him. Still do.
