CLARENCE E. DENEEN. The owner of the good farm located on section 21, in Imlay
Township, Lapeer County, is he whose name appears above. He is the owner of one
hundred and forty-five acres of land and devotes his time and attention to
general farming and stock-raising; he was here born July 4, 1851. He is a son of
Joseph B. and Amy Sophronia (Edgerton) Deneen, of whom a sketch may be found in
this volume.

  Our subject's boyhood days were spent on his father's farm. He received a good
common-school education and attended the Almont High School four months when
about nineteen years of age. He served his father faithfully until reaching his
majority and then worked the home place on shares for a period of three years.
At the end of that time he purchased about eighty-six acres of land and located
upon it, keeping bachelor quarters for more than a year. When about twenty-six
years of age he was married to Miss Annie Cole. She lived about two years and
left him two children— Howard and Elmer. The first-named was born March 18,
1879; Elmer died in infancy.

  Our subject contracted a second marriage, on the 22d of January, 1889.  By
this union there was one child, Jay Edgerton Deneen, who was born December 3,
1890. The original of our sketch is what he is, by the most sustained and
patient effort. His has been a career of hard work and many discouragements. His
father has helped him to a certain extent in later years, but his success is
chiefly due to his own efforts. He is a Republican in politics and cast his
first vote for U. S. Grant. He is now a member of the Patrons of Industry and is
serving his second term as Township Treasurer.
