MISCELLANEOUS PICTURES

The restoration of the Clayton Grange Hall is nearing completion. Painting of the upstairs, followed by Installation of light fixtures and the final step will be laying the hard wood floor. Flooring is a huge expense and funds must be secured before there is to be a Clayton Grange Dance.

Mr. Dominic Costa, an extremly proud father of one of Clayton's true hometown heros, Silvio (Jerry) Costa home on leave. He spent the entire war in the South Pacific, on just about every major Island. He was a courier between Command posts and returned home unharmed. It is asked over and over, "Where do we get such men?"

Heeeeeree's Eddie! Eddie Olson plays "Happy Birthday" while the rest sing Happy 80th Birthday to Warren Nord at his surprise birthday party at the Clayton Grange Hall.

Warren Nord is hugged by his grand daughter just after he was surprised by many of his friends and family on his 80th Birthday. It took place in the all new Grange Hall no less.

Current Master of the Clayton Grange, Jack Lewis, greeted each one who attended the grand opening ceremonies. He and his co-voluteers are owed a great deal of gratitude by the community.

With the lower level complete the celebration continues with a thank you dinner supplied by the grateful grange. Endless hours and countless donations have been supplied by the community.

A terrific light show over our entire region.

A beautiful assortment of congratulatory cakes added to the festivities.

This beautiful moose quilt makes you think of the old Moose Hall.

Large or small, one never knows who the next grange member may be.

This photo was found, tattered and torn. It was sent to Bob and Susan Simpson almost expecting a return note saying, good joke but no go. The Simpsons have talent in huge abundance.

This was taken on the plains of North Dakota about 1918. The Kendig girls, Goldie the little girl on the left grew up, and moved to Kellogg, Idaho where she spent almost her entire life. Naomi on the right did likewise in Colfax, WA. Elva standing with what appears to be soldier's uniform moved to Clayton, joined the Grange in 1944 along with my Dad and were members for many years thereafter. Grange can get into your blood and becomes an important part of your life.

Prior to its present location the Clayton Grange was located in this building just west of the old grade school on the Farm to Market Road, now known as the Williams Valley Road. In the mid-40s to late 50s this was the primary gathering point for the Clayton community. From Grange meetings to social functions, at this period in its history and the Clayton Grange was a showcase for some of Clayton's most prominent citizens. Some of these people were as follows: Clarence and Wilda Nord, Emil and Margaret Tobeck, Paul and Ella Gibson, Paul and Alma Berger, Hayes and Elva Lewis, Royal and Elva Clouse, the Christiansons, the Carpenters, the Schliemans.
