She was six yrs. old when her mother died in Licking Missouri. Her father moved the family to Mt. Vernon, Washington state just five years later. Clara met her first husband, Roscoe Clevenger there where her father and brother worked in the timber industry.
They had five children; the first one Agnes in 1914, died in infancy, Floyd Caleb,(1916-1990), then, twins; Gifford, (1919-), and Clifford, (1919-1994); and Clara Janice, (1921-1999). When Janice was three years old, Roscoe fell from a huge stack of logs causing a head injury that killed him.
She then married a Carl Sampson who was a house painter, and a disabled WWII veteran.
Clara was a woman of deep Christian faith. She kept a clean, well-managed home and among the five sisters it was her apple pie that excelled.
