He had been residing at the Knife River Care Center since April 2005. Services will be held at 10 a.m. MST Tuesday, Dec. 5, at St. Martin Catholic Church, Hazen, with the Rev. Johnson Kuriappilly officiating. Burial to follow at the Hazen City Cemetery, Hazen. Visitation will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. MST, with prayer service to be held at 7 p.m. MST, today, at St. Martin Catholic Church, Hazen. Clem was born on the family farm in Oliver County, southwest of Stanton. He was born May 12, 1927, the son of Joseph and Caroline (Stein) Pfliger, and the second of nine children. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Martin Catholic Church in Hazen. Dec. 7, 1945, Clem enlisted in the Army Air Force. He was stationed in Germany with the occupation forces, after basic training at San Antonio, Texas. It was while he was in Texas that he got interested in rodeo and calf roping, which were to become life long loves for him. Corporal Pfliger received his honorable discharge on July 19, 1948. When Clem returned from the service, he worked as a carpenter foreman on the intake structure at the Garrison Dam. He always said, "The two piers he made were the straight ones and the rest were crooked as hell". Clem attended Hanson's Auto Mechanics school in Fargo, and was later employed at Sudden Service and Pioneer Edsel, both in Bismarck. Clem was employed as the foreman of the Bagley Ranch north of Center, when he met Betty Tysver. They married three months later on Nov. 19, 1953. They lived at the Bagley Ranch until 1961, when they moved to the Pfliger farm southwest of Stanton. Clem and Betty have two children, Kari and Joel. They continued to farm and ranch until Clem retired in 2000, when they had the final complete dispersion sale. After that, Clem worked for his son, Joel, on the farm, until he was no longer able. Clem enjoyed calf roping and rodeo, woodworking, reading western history, hunting deer, pheasants and geese, and especially loved spending time with his grandsons, Scott and Ross, who were the lights of his life. Clem was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in February of 2005, and resided briefly at St. Benedict's in Dickinson, before transferring to KRCC, where he spent the end of his life in the loving care of the nurses and aides in the Alzheimer's unit. Clem is survived by his wife, of 53 years, Betty; his daughter Kari and her husband, Steve Huber, Hazen; his son, Joel, Stanton; his grandsons, Scott and Ross Huber, both of Hazen; four sisters, Leora Retterath, Stanton, Cecelia (Wilfred) Hauck, Willmar, Minn., Dorothy (Edgar) Lang, Wendell, Idaho, and Theresa (Andrew) Kowalski, Fargo; and three brothers, Joseph (Bernice) Pfliger, Sioux Falls, S.D., Ben Pfliger, Bismarck, and Jim (Lee) Pfliger, Mesquite, Nev. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Martin; and three infant sons. The family requests memorials to go to the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame or to Sakakawea Hospice.
