In 1910, thirty-five year old Evelyn married thirty-seven year old Clarence Alfred Clawson. He was born 2 August 1873 in Ohio.

Early in their marriage, Clarence worked on the King Ranch in Dalhart, Texas.

Note: Clinton (b ca 1846) and Elizabeth Clawson (b ca 1848) of Liberty township, Butler Co OH appeared in the 1900 census with a son, 27 year old Clarence Clawson, a bank teller. That Clarence turns out to be James "Clarence" Clawson, born in 1873, (so 37 not 27 in 1910) the same year as Clarence Alfred Clawson.

1925
According to a post card written in 1925, the Clawsons were living in Cheboygen, MI. Clarence was on a trip, traveling from St. Jo, MO to Indianapolis.

Clarence attended his mother's 73rd birthday party on May 17, 1925 at the family farm near Okeana, OH with both parents, and 4 siblings.
