Roy, I am constructing a national Clouse family tree and I am wondering if you can tell me anything about the parents or grandparents of Lloyd or Jasper Clouse. Sincerely, Neil Smith P.O. Box 1688 Porterville, CA 93258 (559) 784-2244 <nsmith2@lightspeed.net>

Lloyd and Jasper Clouse were brothers,on the afternoon of april the 24,1937, the two bothers left the latter's home and walked through Verda, a company-owned mining camp, in search of Clyde Dosher, a friend.Before they started out they had been discussing the Union drive for membership. They stopped at a saloon to see if Dosher was there. A half dozen deputies were in the rear of the place, But neither brother spoke to them. They merely looked around not finding Dosher,went out again. The deputies,Bill Lewis,Melvin Moore,Logan Middleton,Maynard Hobbs and two others,followed them. Then as they started down the street Lewis shouted at them to stop.I want to search you two; he bellowed. Lloyd Clouse carried a pistol, because it was customary to do so in Harlan."At Lewis command,the two men stopped and turned around. AS they did so, the company deputies opened fire upon them and started running toward them. Lloyd Clouse had no time to draw his pistol and defend himself. A bullet struck him.He fell to the ground.Jasper Clouse closed in and grabbed Middlton trying to keep him from shooting him.A company deputie came up behind him and struck him over the head with a gun butt.everything went black he slumped to his knees and fell over.When he came to his brother was dead beside him.He left a widow and ten children. The next day,Jasper Clouse took his brothers family to Bell county for fear that he would be killed if if they remained in Harlan.He took his brothers body to Bell county.Lloyd Clouse was my great grandfather he left my great grandma Minnie a widow with ten children, if anyone knows anything about this or any more articles about the clouses let me know.

This isn't genealogy...but I want to thank everyone so much for the kind words and thoughts they sent. Sorry have been so long in responding. To let everyone know, we were finally able to bring our three year old daughter home late last night from the hospital. It turned out to be a burst appendix....very dangerous. We have an in-home nurse come in twice a day to administer antibiotics via I.V. as well as three doses of oral antibiotics that I give her per day. She seems almost her old self....but she tires easily. I warn anyone with young children and who might be caring for an older adult.....burst appendix are much more common than you would think and are hard to diagnose in the very young and the more mature adult. The symptoms mimic so many other gastro-intestinal illnesses. And not everyone's appendix is in the same location....so forget the notion of appendix pain only being on the right side. I have to take her back to the surgeon every few days so that they can monitor her progress. If all goes well and she responds to the antibiotics at home as well as she did in the hospital, then she will go back for surgery in 3 to 4 weeks to have the appendix removed. Currently, the surgeon feels that the risks far outway the benefits of removing it right away. Her abdoman is still obviously swollen and her blood work still shows too high a level of infection to risk an operation for "convenience." I truly appreciate everyone's concern. She is allowed no "rough housing." Anyone that has ever cared for a 3 year old knows what a task that is going to be. I will try to get back to everyone who sent me genealogical queries as soon as time permits. Please continue to keep her in your prayers as this is not over yet. Kathy in FL mamkmm2@prodigy.net

I need your help. I have a very big conflict of information on the parentage of a one JACOB CLOUSE who was born c1805 in Washington County, Tennessee and married to SARAH TILSON. One reliable source shows his parents to be GEORGE WASHINGTON CLOUSE, SR. & ELIZABETH JARVIS. The other reliable source is a book written by Della P. Franklin "Book of Remembrance of the Clouse Clan" that shows his parents to be WILLIAM CLOUSE, SR. & ELIZABETH LOUDERMILKE. I am in a quandry as to how to straighten this out. Can anyone be of help?

Hello. This is my first posting to the group. My connection to the CLOUSE family is through my great great great grandmother: Altamira Clouse (1850 - aft 1900). She was married to John Milliken/Millican on 24 Mar 1870. This group is from TN. I don't know much about this branch of my family as it is an unusual circumstance that has taken me a long time to unravel. Altamira and her husband John Milliken/Millican had a daughter named Eliza or "Lizzie" that had an illegitimate child and then seems to have vanished into thin air. I can find no record of her. The illigetimate child was my great grandmother: Maudie Corder Milliken (who married into the Snoddy family: Smith Co., TN > Stewart Co., TN). We have yet to locate the name of the father of Maudie, as she ran away from home to marry and never had further contact with her Clouse kin, nor did she speak of them much. Altamira's parents were Benjamin Clouse and Susannah Suttle. I have much on the Suttle side of the family but very little on the Clouse side, beyond a skeleton pedigree chart of a few names and dates. I would appreciate any help that this list can give. Thank you. Kathy in FL mamkmm2@prodigy.net
