Biography

Clarence Lewellyn Lathrop was born 31 Dec 1872 [1] in Fort Amanda, Ohio, USA to George Lathrop and Columbia Hover. [2] Within the family, he had the nickname "Duke" (just like his nephew, Clarence Adoniram Lathrop), which came from the "Duke of Clarence". [3] He married Esther Adelphia Swan on 10 Dec 1912 in Allen Co., Ohio. [4] They had a daughter that died the same day she was born, 5 Jun 1914. [5]

Clarence and Esther, as well as his sister, Grace Lathrop Black and her daughter, Columbia, all appear in missionary reports of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Spencerville (Ohio) Circuit, Christie Chapel, from 1904-1907. [6]

Clarence was on the executive committee of the Fort Amanda Memorial Association, which formed in 1913. He sold 2.5 acres of his land on the Fort Amanda, Ohio site to the Fort Amanda Memorial Commission (formed by the governor) so that a memorial, in the form of a monument, could be established "in honor of the soldiers who sleep there and of the deeds done in the service of the nation". [7] The obelisk monument was unveiled 5 Jul 1915 and the Old Fort Amanda Farm House - the home of Clarence Lathrop - was "thrown open to the public for the day". [8]

From Jane Lathrop Grider:

Clarence "Duke" Lewellyn Lathrop, George & Columbia's youngest son. George died when Uncle Duke was 15 years old. Uncle Duke was married to Esther Swan. They never had children because Aunt Esther kept miscarrying. They lived in the old family house where George and Columbia had lived. It was a wonderful house. There was no indoor heating system or indoor plumbing. There was a huge pot bellied stove with isinglass windows on the front door. It put out a huge amount of heat. We visited at Xmas when I was 5 and I don't remember being cold. There was both a summer and winter kitchen. No running water, but a pump over a tin lined wooden sink. They did have an ice box. There was also a large cast iron wood stove. Uncle Duke would go out & catch a chicken, wring it's neck & chop it's head off on a tree stump outside. Aunt Esther would pluck the feathers & singe the pin feathers off over the stove. I remember helping her to get them all off. Uncle Duke was the keeper of the small cemetery just down the road where the old Ft. Amanda once stood. The Auglaize River was also nearby. He would take my sister, Suzi, and me paw paw hunting. We'd pick them off bushes while singing the paw paw song he taught us. He also raised sheep. That earned me a lifelong dislike of sheep, although my sister Juli raises them. Juli and I tried to find the old family house a few years ago. We found the cemetery and the bridge over the Auglaize that we remembered, but sadly the house had been torn down. There were now some new, upscale homes in the area.
