He worked in many worthwhile community activities. He was a member of the county recreation board, chairman ofthe Morgan bond drives, and secretary-treasurer ofthe county Red Cross. He also served as secretary ofthe Morgan Lions Club. Clarence was a person who looked beyond tcxJay and into tomorrow. He had a new home built for his bride before their marriage. A courtship began while Eva Rose was attending the University of Utah and studying to be a physical education teacher. Clarence and Eva had grown up in the same community and because he associated with her brothers, he had been in her home many times. It wasn't until Eva was teaching school at Box Elder High School that they became engaged. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on 1 September 1942. Clarence and Eva were thought of by many as the perfect couple. Clarence was an ideal father. When he brought Eva and their first child, Lynne, home from the hospital, he tenderly took the baby in his arms and gave her a royal tour ofthe home, telling her all about her new home and the love he had for her.
