    2. Carver
    3. What a great idea. My father, Clyde Hobart Carver, was born April 21, 1918. His family farmed on or near the county line between Donley and Gray counties. His two birth certificates show him as born in Clarendon and Alanreed. My GGrandfather, Austin Carver; GGrandmother, Catherine Carver; Grandfather, Earle William Carver, aka William Earle Carver; Grandmother, Myrtle Mae Phillips Carver; and other great aunts and uncles were also living in the area. I believe my Great Uncle Harrison Ford died in the flu epidemic in 1917 or 1918, and one or more of my Great aunts (Birdella, Irma, Grace or Lillian) died in child birth or in the epidemic. My grandfather left the area and went further east in Texas to the oil fields, where he formed a construction company to build firewalls (dikes) for the oil wells. He at some point formed a company with a Mr. Pinkerton, and they built roads and dams throughout Texas, Mississippi, Missouri and Oklahoma. Any information will be sincerely appreciated. Thank you, Clyda C. Carver
