Clarence was baptized, 4 September 1904, by John Gilbert, and confirmed the same day by Thomas s. Parmley, in the Pleasant Valley Ward.
As a child, he worked on the conveyor belt picking boney out of the coal at the mines in Scofield. Mine employees received free coal and Clarence and his brother Nephi would carry sacks of coal home on their back to supply what was needed to keep the house warm.
When Clarence was about 10 years old, the family moved to Highland, Utah, where they took up farming. He lived there the rest of his life, except for brief periods. Three such occasions were: 1) in 1913 and 1914 when he went to Mohrland, Utah (now a ghost town) with his family; 2) in 1920 when he went to Idaho to work for the summer on his Uncle Gene Maxwell's farm to earn money so he could get married; and 3) during the depression years of the 1930s when he worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
Clarence married Maud Miller on 27 October 1920, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He died, 4 June 1957, in American Fork, of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lew Gehrig's Disease).
