This is a picture of Clarence Mathis and wife, Clara Lucille "Sit", nee 
Jensen.  They were both born in Lee County, TX.  They were married in Lee 
County on 30 Sep 1933, where they started a family and farmed for a living.  
It wasn't long before new jobs were being created down along the Gulf Coast in 
the new petrochemical industry, so they packed up the farm and headed to the 
coast.  Clarence got a job as a painter in the plants, where he fell 30 feet 
from a pipe rack at Monsanto in 1952 and broke many of the bones in his body.  
He lived as an invalid for the next 6.5 years, finally dying in 1959.  He was 
brought back "home", and buried in the Lexington Cemetery.
