Clarence was the third of four children born to George Washington and Sarah (Gurton) Foust. He married (1) Ada V. McPherson in 1917 and they were the parents of one son: Homer. He married (2) Naomi Mae Andrews and they were the parents of one son: Jerry Wayne.
(Note: Not sure the date of birth on headstone and death certificate is correct. WWII Draft Registration has birth as May 15, 1899, he had an older sister Maggie Lillie that was born Feb. 4, 1894, so it isn't possible for him to be born in May of the same year. I think the birth date on the Drat Registration is probably more accurate).
