Clyde was a well liked but unsuccessful pharmacist in Iowa, known for his generosity and good nature.

In an effort to find a better climate for his asthma and better fortune for family finances, in 1914 he moved his family to Palmdale, California to homestead 80 acres owned by his father. The land turned out to be arid and unsuitable for farming, so two years later in 1916 they relocated to Glendale outside of Hollywood.
