RE: Clotfelters in La Follette, TN

  of 136

My name is Miranda Brock. That is my married name. My mother's name is Mary Lou Clotfelter. Her brothers and sisters are Harrison Clotfelter (died as infant), Louise Clotfelter ( half sister from my grandfather's first marriage, also deceased), Shirley Clotfelter, Frank Clotfelter, Delbert Clotfelter (named after my grandpa's brother), Margaret Clotfelter.
My grandfather is John Clotfelter. He married Kathern McCulley in 1941. At one time they resided in Baltimore, MD, and I think they also lived in Jellico, TN. Their home for the last 40 years is in La Follette. John is still alive, but suffers from results of a stroke. He's been this way for the last 3 years or so. Kathern passed away 2 years ago in August.
My grandfather's brothers and sisters are Lee Clotfelter (killed in WWII), Pearl Clotfelter, Delbert Clotfelter (resides in this area of TN with wife Edna). He had some others that are listed in the Bible at his home.
My great-grandfather is Bill Clotfelter, and I believe he was married to Julie. I think Bill is the son of Frank Clotfelter. Frank was married to Barsche. I am certain of these names, but I may have Bill and Frank reversed.
My great uncle Delbert is the father of Brenda Clotfelter and Delbert Clotfelter, jr.
It is worth noting that there is a double marriage in the family. Kathern McCulley married John Clotfelter, and Ruby McCulley was the first wife of Delbert Clotfelter, my great uncle. Delbert and Ruby both went on to later remarry.

I have always had an interest in my maternal family tree. I wanted to post this on the web just incase anyone else in another branch of the family is drawing some blanks in their family tree.
The family, according to my grandfather, is German. I remember he told me that his father's father came from Germany. That would be Frank Clotfelter.
