July 22, 1950 he married Mayme Erickson in Hendricks. The couple farmed on his family's farm until 1974 when they moved into Hendricks. Clarence loved the land and farming and he respected the use of his land. He loved the farm animals, especially the horses which was his favorite topic of conversation. In July 1985 he suffered a major stroke but was still able to live an interesting life cutting quilt pieces, enjoying his home and visiting with family and friends. Survivors include his wife, Mayme, one son Charles, one daughter-in-law Barbara, three grandsons Matthew, David, and Johnathon of Hendricks and one sister, Dora Kvernmo of the Hendricks Retirement Home. He was preceded in death by his parents, one sister, Alma, and five brothers, Marvin, Oscar, Ingvald, Elmer and Gehard. We are blessed with good memories of Clarence and we will miss him.
