I received an e-mail from Laurel "Laurie" SIMONSON DORAN (
doranlaurel@gmail.com) today stating the following:
"Hi Susan,
My name is Laurie Simonson Doran. This weekend I was looking to see if I could discover history of my Grandpa Clyde. I ran across your post asking if Clara buried in Vernon County, Wi is the Clara that was married to Clyde. I can very definitely say yes.
They were married when I was a child. Clara was a widow with seven grown children when they got married. My dad being the youngest of those children.
I remember grandpa Clyde as a gentle man who made fiddles and who listened to the dreams of a child and made them seem possible.
His daughter Lorna knew our family as my mom babysat her daughter Jan when Lorna was working.
I hope this information is helpful.
Laurie."
