• Notes

  Married: Clarence Allen Venable was married to Sarah Edds. Sarah died in 1936 and was buried in Crawford County, Kansas. Clarence lived until 1969, dying in Barton County, Missouri. He was buried with his wife Sarah. It is quite possible that May E. (Smith) Hoop left her husband in California or Oregon and went back to Missouri, where she divorced him and married the widowed Clarence Venable. No record of the marriage has been found.
