By JAN DANFORD
"I rode a lot of broncs,"
reminisced Clarence M. Weirauch,
who was 91 years old last
Saturday. "I had 50 or 60 horses
at one time; I raised 'em, broke
'em, trained 'em ... "
Born in a log cabin near the
Wabash River in southern illinois,
he was raised on corn bread baked
in a cast iron skillet in the
fireplace.
"It was a big skillet with a
four foot handle," he recalls,
"and it was set in a bed of coals,
filled with batter, and a heavy lid
fit tightly on the top. Then it
was covered over with hot coals,
and the bread was baked."
tte remembers the big brass
kettle that hung from a crane in
the fireplace. There was no
cookstove.
Thus the family lived until he
was 2 I years of age, at which time
his father built a new four room
frame house. "People came from
all directions from miles around,
just to see it," he says.
In the same year he went to
East St. Louis where for four
years he was employed in the
Armour placking plant. He then
went to Minnesota and there built
a house and barn for a man living
m st. Louis. After an 18 month
sojourn in Madison, Wise. he
homesteaded a ranch in South
Dakota and remained there until
1920 when he went to Fort Pierre
as the Stanley County auditor.
From 1909 to 1912 he taught
school in Stanley County, S. Dak.
From 1909 until 1924 he served
as missionary for the Methodist
Church in the territory west of
the Missouri River. In 1924 the
mission merged with the Dakota
Conference.
In 1927 and 1929 he was
elected to the state legislature of
the State of South Dakota,
following which he worked for
the Standard Oil Co. for 20 years.
He was for 13 years prior to
his retirement in the Department
of Internal Revenue in South
Dakota.
On April 7, 1900, Clarence
Weirauch was married to Alice
Bowman, To them were born six
children, three of whom are
living. There are 16 grandchildren
and 46 great-grandchildren, whose
names he simply cannot
remember. He was widowed in
1967.

secretary-treasurer of the "1902
Cowboys", an organization
composed of cowboys active in
their profession from 1902 until
1918. Each June he travels back
to South Dakota to meet with
this group, and makes another
trip there in the fall to visit old
friends.
He has been a Mason since
1915, in the Scottish Rite since
1917, and in York Rite since
1924. He joined the Shrine in
1927.
He likes the Pacific
Northwest. "I like the timber," he
says. "I like this country." Fie
goes for walks: he mows the yard :
he reads and plays with the little
poodle who adopted him
wholeheartedly when he came to
make his home with his daughter,
Ruth Boysen, in the fall of 1968.
He has a son Charles, in
Shelton also; and a daughter,
Wilma Jacobs, in Pierre, S. Dak.
Clarence Weirauch was
honored at an Open House in his
home on Sunday afternoon.

Lack of rainfall within the
state has resulted in shutdowns of
logging and recreation in several
areas, the Keep Washington Green
Association reported today.
Keep Green director Ed
Loners stated "Although not all
dense forest areas have been
closed off. dryness across the
entire state is above normal."
Loners urges Washington
residents planning a Labor Day
outing to contact the local
United States Forest Service or
the State Department of Natural
Resources for information
regarding "highly flammable areas
to avoid." He explained many of
the fires started at this time of
year could be avoNled if people
knew areas where forest fire
dangers are high and extreme, tle
cautions citizens to be extremely
careful with cigarettes, matches,
and urges recreationists to use
safe, portable cooking units rather
than open fires.
"'The Labor Day weekend is
always a problem," Loners said,
"but this fire season is even more
critical than usual." tie pointed
out that Washington has already
lost over 122,500 acres of forest
and range land. "'That is the
largest acreage lost by fire in over
t hree decades," Loners
concluded.
