Clemence Anthony Haren

On 5 Jun 1917, 27 year old Clem Harren of 700 High Ave. SW, Canton, Ohio registered for the US military draft. The registration card states tht he was born March 11th, 1890 in Ozark, Ohio. At the time of the draft registration, Clem was a carpenter working for S.P. Herron in Canton. According to the draft registration, he was married (but his wife is not named). Clem was described as being of medium height and build with blue eyes and light hair.

Clem Haren has not been found in the 1920 census.

In 1930, Clem A. Haren (40) and his wife, Laura (34) owned a home worth $5000 at 241 Dryden Ct. in Canton, Ohio. Both were natives of Ohio, as were their parents. Clem worked as a house contractor. A portion of their home was rented to a young couple, Andrew and Dorothy Danner.

Two notes from the "Ozark News Briefs of Interest" column in the Zanesville Times Recorder, 10 Nov 1933:

Clem's date and place of birth were March 11, 1890 in Monroe County, Ohio. When asked for the name and address of a person who would always know his whereabouts, Clem answered "Cecil Yoss, Woodsfield, Ohio." Clem indicated that he was self-employed in Monroe County, but did not indicate what his occupation was. Clem was 5'8", 170 lbs with blue eyes, gray hair and a light complexion.
