Cleave grew up in New Jersey. She served in the Cadet Nursing Corp during WWII. Cleave and Richard were married 4 Nov. 1950 in the Presbyterian Church in Sparta, NJ. They lived in Spokane, WA for awhile before moving to Grangeville, ID. Cleave worked as an RN: nurse for Dr. Stevens in Moscow, ID. She died in a tragic car accident early one foggy morning not far from the airport in Spokane, WA.
I met Cleave in person once in the 1980's when we were both members of the Eastern Washington Genealogical Society. She contacted me because it was clear from information that I'd submitted that we were distant cousins on our Bruen and Goldberg branches. This was pre-computer, so we corresponded and met once when she was house sitting for someone in Spokane, WA. Cleave taught me how to carefully do genealogical research listing footnotes on the family group sheets. She'd do a sheet in pencil until she was sure of her data. She had discovered that our German ancestor John C. Goldberg had played the organ in the Lutheran church in early Albany, NY. Later, when he was a music and foreign language teacher in Morris Co., NJ, she found that he was growing broom straw on his land. She thought that it was likely for my ancestor Reuben De Forest, who was his son-in-law and a broom maker. She said her mother told her that she had seen a headstone for John C. Goldberg with him as "Johan Carlos Goldberg" in the Hillside Cemetery in NJ, but it was not there when Cleave looked for it. She said her mother had a good memory, but that's all she found to go on for that information.
