The Clare County Cleaver Inc., Harrison, Michigan
     Richard Pfannes born 03 April 1912 married Wanda Richardson on 26 June, 
1937 together they had four children Rosemary, Margaret, Sally and Douglas.
     When Rich was around 18 he joined the Conservation Corps created by 
Roosevelt during the depression.  He spent his time planting trees.  I believe 
it was during this time he got polio.
     After Rich and Wanda marriage they lived in Detroit on Alcoy, renting 
from his brother Ed and Uncle Bill.  They moved to Farmington for awhile.  
They lived in Harrison near Budd Lake and worked for Spikehorn.  Had a house 
in Saginaw on 517 Hess Ave.  Uncle Bill lived with them during this time.  
Worked as a tool grinder at Sag Steering Geer.  Bill and Rich worked for 
General Motors and retired from it.
     At one time Rich helped run a fishery for the D.N.R.  It was a tourist 
attraction.  Rich also worked for Spikehorn cutting grass and harvesting 
Christmas trees.
     Wanda and Rich retired, they cleared a place on the 80 acres given to 
them by grandpa.  They built their home and continued to live there until both 
their deaths in 1999.  Rich was always good with his hands.
