Interesting - in 1930, son Clyde may have been counted twice - seems somewhat unlikely there would be two Clyde Harmons, b. the same year in Indiana. However, I think it is likely a different Clyde - there is a California death record for Clyde W. Harmon, b. 12 Oct 1898 - not in May as in the 1900 Census above. Clyde W. died 19 Jun 1971 in Los Angeles and was born in Indiana. However, a census search for 1900-1920 does not reveal two Clyde Harmons born this year in Indiana.
