H. Clarence graduated from high school, and married Edna Mae. In 1940, Clarence and Edna were living on West 7th in Fremont, Nebraska, where he was working as a finish carpenter, and she was caring for their two children, then 7 years old and 3 years old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Source: National Archives Note: The MOLDER rating in the United States Navy is a good and proud rating. Day one, lesson one in Molder A School was about SAND. A single grain of sand. We learned about what it was made out of, about its shape and what kinds of things can be mixed with it to make it do so many wonderful things. SAND is a Molder's most important tool. Molders create castings from making molds and cores from sand mixtures and melting and pouring various kinds of metals into those molds. All types of parts, from hatch dogs to anchors, have been cast by Navy Molders. Molders have tools that are not found in most normal mechanic's tool boxes: trowels, slicks, spoons, vent rods, lifters and sprue cutters are just a few of these tools. Molders also use such tools as rammers, chippers, sand blasters and the abrasive cut-off saw. They can also operate the different types of furnaces to melt the metals to pour castings. One tool a Molder uses quite often is a SHOVEL. Since most Navy Ship-board foundries have a few TONS of molding sand, it is not unusual to find a shovel, or a whole rack of them, someplace in a foundry! Needless to say, a molder is one who can appreciate having OTHER PEOPLE help out once in a while with the shoveling of all that sand! I was given the wonderful opportunity to have the ship's Master At Arms send me some EXTRA DUTY men to deal with the sand shoveling problems we had! It was soon found to be a hated place to work by the extra duty people and they dreaded coming down to my world! Molders have served aboard Battleships, Destroyer Tenders, Submarine Tenders and Repair ships and a few shore stations since 1917 and were aboard ships in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 when the Japanese attacked. Some of my Molder Brethren died that day. Molders were taken off the Battlewagons in 1942 to make more room for more anti-aircraft weapons and gun crews and to store more anti-aircraft ammunition, but that didn't slow down the need for Molders, foundries and the Molder's brothers in the trade, Patternmakers. There was still plenty of work to do serving the fleet and many tons of metals have been melted and poured in shipboard foundries in all the years Molders have served our Navy--from article written by David W.
