Obviously not Clayton Girls. Strangly enough the town which was organized by Washington Brick and Lime had written laws forbiding Liquor establishments or sales in the town. No one knows when these laws were abolished or if they were later ignored or not enforced.
Harold, Walter and Mildred Klawunder. Harold lived past his 100th birthday and passed away in 2008. Mildred married Norm Warren. They had one son Harold and four daughters. Thanks to Peter Coffin for this photo.
Peter Coffin furnished this photo of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klawunder.
It is thought this photo originated from Bob Renner & that more information may be available. Likewise the photo to the right.
The sole possible identity is Mrs. Fred Schonfelt. Back row 2nd. from right.
Hayes and Elva (Walker) Lewis, over a period of 24 years were parents to a total of 13 offspring. Every single one grew up to be perfect Ladies or Gentlemen. A complete family reunion was not an easy task. This was as close as they came in 1971. Sadly only 4 remain. Virgina being the most recent death early in 2009.
