• Notes

  Although she worked briefely at General Electric Appliance Division in Erie, Cletius (pronounced Cletus) was a homemaker and loving mother. As a child during the Great Depression, her parents were forced to place Cletius and several of her siblings in an orphanage, where they remained until emancipated.
