Clayton 8 Families

My (John Henry) paternal Grand parents, Don and Marie Henry in 1942. This photograph was taken at their place about 11/2 miles south of the Clayton school on Swenson road.

R. Gerry (Harrison) Henry, Leonord Turrell, Lois (Harrison) Turrell and C.I. Doc Harrison. Taken in the west side yard of the Harrison home. Notice the smoking stack at the brick yard.

Doc Harrison (left) and Jimmy Wesley just returned from a successful hunting trip. The building in the background looks to be the building next to the Clayton Mercantile.

My Grandfather C. I. (Doc) Harrison displaying the fruits of one of his favorite pastimes. Fishing for the big Mackinaws in Loon Lake. This picture was probably taken in the 1930s.

My Aunt and Uncle. Doris (Gibson) Henry and Pat Henry (circa 1940). Pat was the youngest son of Don and Marie Henry.

Big Foot Valley was laden with Kelso's and Klawunders. Francis Kelso is Top Row 3rd from the left. She is Chuck Stewart’s aunt. Chuck knows much about Big Foot Valley & Clayton.

As the lady in this photograph is clearly identified as Mrs. Klawunder. It may be safe to say that these two children are Mildred Klawunder and her little brother Harold. Although all in this photo are deceased their offspring are sprinkled around the immediate area. A number of photos of the Klawunder family are shown below.

In 1933 Mr. George Klawunder was the owner of 80 acres located on the south east corner of Williams Valley Rd and Price Rd. This property was later owned by Norman and Mildred (Klawunder) Warren. Norm and Mildred had one son Harold and four daughters, Evelyn was the oldest. A search is underway for additional information about this photograph and the photograph on the right.

This is Pat Henry's big brother Joe Henry. Was he a soldier or a movie actor?

Norm and Mildred Warren

Harold Klawunder never missed a Clayton day. He passed away in 2007. His funeral service was conducted by Sue Robinson who is a Minister at the Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, Washington, and a former co-worker of our editor Wally Parker.

The is the Klawunder family in 1935.

Bob Clouse and Evelyn (Warren) Tilson(?) reunited friends from the late 40s at the Deer Park Settlers Picnic in 2007.

Mildred & Norm Warren in the back row along with their oldest Son Harold. We have the identities of all the girls tucked away & will insert them as soon as I relocate them. I swear they are all Warren girls.

Taffy Calicoat and Randy Long's wedding, June 24, 1977. Left to right, Jim Calicoat, Marvin Calicoat, Wilma Calicoat, Thelma Calicoat Sprenger, Taffy and Randy Long, Dee Calicoat, and Danny Calicoat.

This was once thought to be the Carr homestead. But, as we always hope, Teresa Carr Broman gave us the correct information (see below). This is the Hilderbrand house at Spangle. The Hilderbrands were Teresa's mother's parents and grandparents.

This is the old house that was on the Carr farm. It burned down in the early 1950s.
