1914- Benjamin Austin had been working in the smelting industry in Colorado and then later in the steel mills of Birmingham, Alabama. According to my mother Benjamin fell into a vat of molten steel and was killed immediately. Clyde was made a widow with three young sons. By 1920 she seems to be managing by well enough to own her home in which she seems to be operating a boarding house. She has a couple of black servants that live in the back who I assume help her with the care of the house in the 1920 census.

1920-22 - Clyde remarries to Charlie Bainbridge.
"The marriage between Clyde and Charlie was somewhat strange. They evidently loved each other, but each maintained considerable independence. For some reason which I cannot recall, I (Ernest Lee Hollaway, Jr.) spent several weeks at their home in Pine Bluff, Arkansas about 1930-32. Lee, Ralph, and Dan were all living at home, I shared with Uncle Charlie a bedroom that had been built onto the garage in the back yard of the house. Charlie was skilled decorator, doing interior painting, wall papering, and hanging drapes and similar work. I worked with him during the summer on several projects, probably being more of a hindrance than a help, and he attempted to teach me some tricks of the trade, especially in painting. Charlie was an accomplished 'fiddler' and would often play in the evenings. The last time I saw him was in 1949 as my family and I were on our way to Japan. He and Clyde graciously entertained us. Charlie had turned a basement room into his hobby room where he had model trains of which he was justly proud. He remained physically very active, walking briskly up and down the hill of San Leandro."[Report by Ernest Hollaway Jr., March, 1996 records]
1930- Ernest L. Holloway, Clyde's brother, has a family in Arkansas and has taken in Lee Austin, his sister's oldest son for a period of time.

1935-approximately Charles and Clyde Bainbridge move to Berkeley, California where he was a painting and paperhanging contractor. By about 1954 they move to San Lorenzo, CA probably to be near Clyde's son Dan Austin and his family.
1957- December about 21st. Charles Bainbridge dies in Hayward, California.
"Bainbridge Rites on Tap MondaySan Lorenzo - Services for Charles Bainbridge, 88, 358 Grant Ave., will be at 9:30 am. Monday in Sorensen Bros.

Sat. Dec. 21, 1957, p. 2]
1960's - While Cyde was living in Oakland, Sadie Hollaway Kirkland Johnson, would go to visit usually by train. On one particular trip they traveled around by car. Sadie was surprised that they had to stop so frequently at gas stations where her sister disappeared into the restroom. When Sadie went in to follow her the window was always open. On more than one occasion she caught the smell of a burning cigarette. Clyde never admitted to smoking but it seemed appropriate behavior for the time. Clyde was known for never opening her bedroom door until she was completely dressed including her pearl necklace. [experience and story as told to Elroy Christenson in an interview with Sadie about 1964]
