Read More	Hi Shirley, thank you for supporting FAG and specifically for adding Clare Stetson's memorial. My name is Bill Piper. Clare's mother was Jennie (Piper) Stetson, sister to my great grandfather. According to ancestry that makes Clare my 1st cousin, 2x removed. I have written a short biographical sketch of Clare and I thought you might like to hear about his life. "Clare Stetson was the ninth of ten known children born to Horace Allen Stetson and Jennie Piper. Clare was born 17 May 1889 in Kankakee County, Illinois, probably in Otto Township after the family moved from Iroquois County. Clare moved with his family from Otto Township, Kankakee County to Buena Vista County, Iowa about 1896 or 1897. He was listed with his family on the 1900 census in Elk Township when he was 11; his birth was given as May 1889 although it was transcribed as August. He was also listed on the 1905 Iowa State census when he was 16 or 17, although his age was given as 15 on that record. Sometime in the early 1900s he moved with his family to Oliver County, North Dakota. He was listed with his parents and younger sister on a farm in Oliver County on the 1910 census. They were surrounded by farms of other family members. Clare enlisted in the 1st Infantry North Dakota National Guard on 12 May 1917. This unit was nationalized for service on the Mexican border prior to 1917. It was activated again for WWI on 5 August 1917. They discharged the members as National Guard and immediately drafted them into the US Army to allow for overseas duty. The unit became the 164th Infantry in the 41st Infantry Division. Clare was assigned to Company F. He was promoted to Corporal on 1 December 1917. The unit was deployed overseas on 15 December 1917. Details of his service while in France are not known. He returned to the US on the “Patria” departing Marseilles, France on 2 March 1919 and arriving in Brooklyn, New York on 17 March 1919. Clare was rated “A” in Saint Aignan Casual Company #1915 which probably meant that he was convalescent, requiring no special attention. In the US, he was sent to Camp Merritt and then to Camp Dodge in Iowa for discharge. Clare was discharged 30 March 1919 at Camp Dodge. Clare did not marry and he did not have children. Clare Stetson died 10 May 1920 at Bismarck, North Dakota. He was 30, almost 31. According to an article about his death he suffered from meningitis first contracted while he was in the Army and had come to Bismarck for an operation in December. He was interred at Red Butte Cemetery in Oliver County. At first his name, birth date and death date were simply etched into his parents’ headstone. Clare’s younger sister, Ruby Dale (Stetson) Johnson arranged for a military headstone in 1937. Photos of both headstones are shown on his memorial on www.findagrave.com. The memorial was created by Shirley Jacobchick in 2016. Thank you, Shirley!" I left out small bits of the sketch dealing with the timing of his birth because I think 17 May 1889 is the correct date and that is the date inscribed on his parents' headstone. Thank you, again. With warmest regards, Bill Piper PS my great grandfather also lost one of his children in WWI. He was Ralph Piper, died of wounds. Contributor: William Piper (47393935) • [email protected]
