"Our grandfather Clarence Haviland and his brother William homesteaded on a half section by the White River near the Bad Lands of South Dakota in 1907. The following year, their mother filed on an adjoining quarter.
Uncle Verlie spent summers on the ranch, but his father Clarence took him to Burke, S.D. to live
with his Aunt Sadie Chastain and go to school. Verlie visited his mother and sister in Nebraska in the fall and winter of 1915. He enlisted in the army in 1918 after World War I started.
Clarence sold the ranch in 1917 and moved north east of Martin, S.D. in Bennett County. After the war and a visit with his mother and sisters, Verlie lived with his father until his death in 1923.
Clarence suffered from a condition called Tuberculosis of the bone and died in the Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Custer, S.D. It no doubt would be diagnosed as bone cancer now."
