Clare was preceded in death by his parents, five sisters and four brothers, his wife Grace, and son-in-law Calvin Schneider. When a very small boy, he moved with his parents to southern Missouri where they lived in a log house on Hungry Creek in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Although quite young at the time he lived there, he could recall many interesting experiences and it was there that he learned to hunt the many wild animals and game that roamed the area. Later the family moved to a logging camp, which was also in the Ozark region, and where the father ran a log train for a large sawmill company. In 1896, the family moved back to Kansas to a farm northeast of McCracken. Later they took up ranching in this area. It was here that Clare learned to herd cattle and horses. A few years later they moved to a farm northeast of Ransom. It was in this vicinity that he met Grace Craig. They fell in love and were married November 8, 1911. They moved to Osage City, Kansas, where Clare had a milk and cream route. Their daughter Bonnie was born there. They moved back to the Cyrus Community northeast of Ransom in 1915 and took up farming, continuing until the late 1920’s when they moved to Ransom and Clare operated a gas service station. Their son Marvin was born in September, 1928. When a young man, Clare was baptized into Christ at the C.R. Scott farm on Page Creek, which was used many times in the early days in that capacity. He remained faithful in his belief and during his entire life was a devoted Christian and Bible student. He also prepared and delivered many sermons through the years. They moved to WaKeeney in the early 1930’s where Clare served as Deputy Sheriff and later as night marshal. He loved this work and continued in it until his retirement when they moved to Denver, Colo., to be near their daughter Bonnie and family. In his earlier years, he shared a love for baseball and music. Many a baseball game he played and served as pitcher of the team. His love for music was fulfilled by his playing the guitar and banjo. In later years, he was an avid gardener and took great pride in growing his flowers and vegetables. He also enjoyed making woodcraft items and various pieces of handcraft for his family. In May, 1978, his daughter, Bonnie Schneider, moved from Denver, Colo., to Ransom and a short time later Clare came to make his home with her. He spent many happy hours at the senior citizen center in Ransom where he enjoyed visiting with others and reminiscing about the early days. Having lived nearly a century, he could talk on many subjects. He remained active up until a couple of years ago when it became necessary for him to be in the Grisell Memorial Nursing Home. He was loved and respected by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his passing, his daughter, Bonnie Schneider of Ransom; son Marvin and wife Wilma of Maple Hill, Kansas; grandsons Kay Schneider and wife Betty of Denver, Colo.; Lynn Schneider and wife Connie of Denver, Colo.; Steven Brewer and wife of Wichita; granddaughters Leta Thornton and husband Glen of Littleton, Colo., and Janet Vergever of Kansas City, Mo., 11 great-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, and many friends. He was loved by folks Both young and old Who enjoyed his stories So oft-times told His gracious manner And words of praise Were a balm to those Who helped fill his days. His faith in God Was a challenge to all To do their best And in Christ grow tall. His loving memory With us will stay To enrich our lives Till our dying day. Ness Co. News, Nov. 21, 1985
