Dear Kris,
Thank you so much for your two e-mails. I forwarded them on to my mother-in-law, Mary Sue Linde, who is the daughter of Clarence Veale. Below is her response. She would enjoy hearing from you. Her e-mail address is

Happy Holidays,

My father's name was Clarence Henry Veale. Born August 4, 1888, in
Pierre, South Dakota, he was the youngest of twelve children. (one was
stillborn.) He and his brother, Enoch (Uncle Ene) and his sons were the only
ones who spelled their name Veale, where the others spelled it Veal. I have
the information on the family but it's too long to put here. Daddy died
February 12, 1948 here in Tulsa, and is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery at
51st and Memorial.
My mother's name was Ruth Inez (s?) Beebe Veale. Born September 27, 1892
in Modale, IA. I have her information, too.
