Clarence Marion Hall was born May 13, 1914 in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, the 
oldest of 13 children born to Elmer and Daisy May Routs Hall.  He grew up near 
Crawford and attended school in that area.  The farm life and tending to his 
cattle was his love, but when times were tough, he worked for a time with the WPA, 
the Roberts Ranch, for Hubert Knittel as a brick layer, and Woodward County.  He 
married May Ophelia Jackson on September 6, 1937 at Cheyenne and to this union six 
children were born.  In 1954, they purchased the farm where they have lived since
that time.  Clarence loved to travel and to visit.  He could strike up a conservation 
with anyone around that wanted to reminisce.  Clarence was very knowledgeable in how 
to make something out of nothing and make it work, or putting several things together 
to make something unique.  He alwasy had a hug and a greeting for his family.  He was 
very proud of his children and loved to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren,
and often spoke of how he wished they lived closer.  He always encouraged his children
to get a good education because he did not have the opportunity, even though he was a 
well educated man.  Clarence loved to read and he read everything he could get his hands 
on.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years.  Mary Hall of Mooreland, three sons, Calvin 
Hall and wife Rita of Ulysses, Kansas; Wayne Hall and wife Colleen of Mooreland; David 
Hall and wife Jodie of Mooreland; three daughters, Pearl Hall of Counc il Bluffs, Iowa,
