• Notes

  Samuel Fremont Clary (updated 9-28-02) Samuel Clary was born August 6, 1853, in Peru, Miami County, Indiana.His father and mother were Hiram Clary, a cabinetmaker, and ElizabethBaker. According to the Federal Census of 1860, the family was living inPeru, Indiana, and Sam's mother had passed away, though Hiram had, bythen, remarried. Hiram's new wife was Mary Ann Long, whom he marriedSeptember 15, 1857 (Miami County, Indiana; Index to Marriage Record1850-1920 Inclusive Volume I Letters A - L, Inclusive). Thus, it seemsentirely probable that Samuel had little recollection of his birthmother. Samuel had five older siblings living at home in 1860: NancyJane (25); Mary E. (23); Tipton D. (21); William (12); and Thomas(10). Samuel was then 6 years old. Of note, the family enumerated justbelow the Hiram Clary family on the 1860 Census included a head ofhousehold who was a telegrapher. Samuel Clary would later become atelegraph operator. Little more is known about Samuel Clary until his marriage to Bell E.Beard, daughter of Joseph A. Beard and Elizabeth Richardson, May 9,1875 (Marriage License; Auburn, Nemaha County, Nebraska). According tothe Federal Census of 1880, Samuel and Bell moved to MarshallTownship, Saline County Missouri, where the couple parented MyrtleClary (1878) and Claude Samuel Clary (July 26, 1880). The couple hadone additional child, Joseph H. Clary, who was born February 22, 1882,in Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico (Joseph Harum ClarySocial Security Application of February 25, 1937). It is believed thatthe family was then residing in Grant's Station, New Mexico; moreover,family lore indicates that Bell Beard died at or soon after Joseph'sbirth. As of this writing, Bell's burial location is unknown. At somepoint before 1884, Samuel conveyed the three children to the home oftheir maternal grandparents, where they were raised to maturity. Theirfurther contact with Samuel between 1884 and 1910 is unknown. By 1884, Samuel Clary remarried to a lady with the last name ofHawley. Additional information about Samuel's second wife remainsunknown. Four children issued from this union (California DeathIndex). They were: Arthur E. (born April 18, 1884, in Kansas); EstellaGertrude (born June 16, 1887, in Nebraska); Ethel M. (born August 20,1888, in Kansas); and Merl Everett (born April 3, 1896, in Colorado). Samuel's circumstances between 1896 and 1900 are unknown; though byJuly 2, 1900, Samuel is enumerated on the Federal Census for HighlandPrecinct (near Boise), Ada County, Idaho. By then, he was 46 years oldand listed as a "lodger." He reported his occupation as TelegraphOperator, but also indicated that he had been unemployed for fivemonths. His marital status was shown as Single; though additionalinformation suggests that Samuel's second wife had died by 1900. Nothing about Samuel Clary is again seen until the Federal Census of1910 for Peru, Nemaha County, Nebraska; whereupon Samuel is livingwith his eldest son, Claude Clary. Samuel's occupation is given asLaborer, Farming; and his marital status is given as Widower. No additional information of Samuel Clary appears until his death onFebruary 11, 1920 (Certificate of Death from City and County of SanFrancisco; Local Registered No. 1292). At the time of his death,Samuel was living at the Relief Home for the Aged and Infirm, in SanFrancisco, where, according to the Death Certificate, Samuel hadresided for seven years. His occupation was given as Cook; and hismarital status is shown as Widower. The cause of death was "LabarPneumonia" and Chronic Myocarditis. The certificate lists Samuel'sburial place as Cypress Lawn Cemetery, 835 Valencia St.; though thisremains unconfirmed. It should be noted that personal conversations between Claude S.Clary's son, Claud Clary, and Arthur Clary (circa 1952) reflect thatSamuel Clary may have been a chronic alcoholic. This information islargely anecdotal; though Samuel's frequent moves and animosityreflected by his sons do beckon this conclusion. ***** Marriage License; County Clerk; County Courthouse, Auburn, Nebraska.
