John McClelland's Civil War era journals give the birth info. I guess the old homestead was the one near little Washington. I am wondering why all of the children are born at different people's places ????? Who are these people? Are they relatives???

Mildred said her father did as little as he could. I guess he was not very ambitious. She said he would plant vegetables and than let them dry up. She said he was a pumper; he pumped (oil or gas) wells. Charles said he was a lineman or inspector of gas lines.
Shelden liked to square dance and was a square dance caller in Washington, Pa.
Sheldon was the youngest and only son in the family. I'll bet he was spoiled rotten by all the females. Maybe that is why he was not very ambitious.!!!!!

Mildred said her Mother was a tiny blue eyed blond who liked to get involved in everything that was going on, just like Frances. When she married Sheldon, she could walk under his arm (he was a small man), and later she grew and could no longer walk under his arm. Mcould be that sheldon shrank. Maybe she is the source of the tininess of my kids and the late growing pattern of Charles.

He attended the select schools of Mapletown which were taught by teachers hired by the parents, by the yr. and half yr. He was one of the foremost men during his short life in securing good educational advantage for the town.

Mildred said Daisy was kind of wild and was married several times. She said Daisy had a daughter named Alice, but I wonder if it is the same Alice Hughes whose report cards I found among Frances, because why would her last name be Hughes unless Daisy married a Hughes or had Alice out of wedlock.
