His sister, Myrtle said Clarence was always whistling “In the Good Old
Summertime.” We would be in the field working and we could hear him coming
whistling his favorite tune.,

Girtrue Brookshire, daughter of David Brookshire and Hannah Coop. Nora was born

fatal. His body was brought home and laid to rest in the Mountain Park Cemetery
