• Notes

  Clarence’s father died of a heart attack while chasing a burglar when son Clarence was 8 years old. His father had received heart surgery months earlier, but had not told his wife nor his best friend, his personal physician. His mother remarried 2 days after his 20th birthday, and had 1 more child. So, young Clarence grew up without a father, and without knowing about his father’s people. As an adult, he became curious about his father’s genealogy, and is responsible for most of the research of the John Damme > William Dam line. He was an active member of the New England Historical Genealogical Society, and his name appears frequently in meeting minutes and journals. None of his children were as passionate as Clarence was about his advocation, and shortly before his death he lamented that no one in the family would continue with his work. This task has since been taken up by several of his great-grandchildren, and has extended beyond the Dame line. —— According to draft card, he was medium height, medium build, had light blue eyes and light brown hair.
