   Clarence was born July 28, 1931 in Danville to Clarence O. and Lucille (Huron) Wilson. He attended Danville schools, graduating from Danville High School in 1951 and enlisting in the US Army, serving during the Korean War at the Panama Canal. Clarence started his career at the Lebanon Chemical Company shortly thereafter and worked for forty-five years before retiring. Not one to just sit, he then went back to work part time at Danville Rubber, Eagles Grocery, and a few other places here and there. When he wasn’t working, Clarence could often be found fishing, mushroom hunting, and gardening. He was an avid square and round dancer and enjoyed listening to gospel and old country music.

   On June 17, 1956, Clarence married Patsy Ragle and the two have shared sixty-six years together.  He leaves behind his wife Patty; his three children: Rose (Dave) Sams, Sue Ross, and David (Julia) Wilson; four grandchildren: Sara (Trey) McCorkle, Travis (Dana Hansen) Wilson, Shelby (Nate) Leach, and Marlee Sams; his great-grandchild: Nora Rose McCorkle; and his plethora of fishing buddies. Clarence was preceded in death by his parents; his grandsons: Tyler L. Wilson, and Kurt and Kyle Gouty; and two brothers: Donald and Larry Wilson.
