Grandpa and Grandma were married on the 3rd of January 1924. They had five children born to them, Velma, Zemona, Shirley,Vivian Gay, and Joseph Dar. I don't know much of their early years, so let's all start talking to our parents and fill this story in.
Cousin Loran is the one that inspired me to start here. He shared a few things via Facebook with me over the last week. I will share them here to get us started.
"Danette, We need to get together and have a Cloward Reunion...I have told my children about their awesome cousins but they need to meet you....and yours. I have always loved your father and mother and always will. Let's make a promise to Grandpa and Grandma Cloward that we willl not forget...I have stories to tell from my youth about them and will share..
You know, like your family, we traveled to some exotic places...but there was no place like Grampa Loran and Mom Florences little farm, a mile east and 1/2 mile north of the Neola crossroads. She didn't make pancakes...they were 'hotcakes' with real butter and apricot/pineapple(home made) jam. Makes my mouth water just to think about that. I will get back with you soon...let's not let this go...OKAY!!
Do you remember Velma's doughtnuts...the deep fried ones...to die for. We have some neat people in our family!
