Clarence was born May 14, 1909, in rural Wausau, Wis., to Wilhelm and Emma (Kopplin) Zahn. His early childhood was spent on a farm near Augusta and in later years farmed his own farm in the Augusta area. In 1935, Clarence married Lillian Porter at First Baptist Church in Eau Claire. She preceded him in death in 1967. He later married Florence Fouser in 1972, at Washington Baptist Church, in rural Eau Claire. He moved his family to the Porter Farm (now Lowes Creek Farm) in 1936, and continued farming there most of his life. He also farmed the Fouser Farm in later years and continued his love of tree planting on that farm until he entered Oakwood Villa Nursing Home in late 1997.
Clarence loved the out of doors and his trees. He was a friend to all who knew him. He loved to watch his trees and promoted tree planting to everyone. In 1984, he was cited for " in Eau Claire County." In later years, when he could no longer work on his trees, his continuous desire was to take a ride to see how his trees were growing. He was a former member of the Wisconsin Woodland Owner Association. Even though Clarence was a busy farmer, in earlier years, he never missed a Sunday at First Baptist Church. Later years found him very active at Bethel Baptist Church, which had merged with Washington Baptist.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Florence; and daughter, Betty (Christy) Hauge, both of Eau Claire; three stepdaughters, Lois (Irvin) Nelson, Marjorie (Tom) Hofslien and Sharon (Dan) Nichols; three grandsons, Russell (Sandra) Hauge of Ohio, Commander Todd Hauge, USN, Virginia, and Timothy (Fawn) Hauge of Tennessee; eight step-granddaughters, Kim Nelson, Kay Zwiefelhofer, Lorie (Paul) Brach, Wendy (Chris) Andre, Kara (Doug) Schoenecker, Ellie and Britt Hofslien, Michelle Nichols; two step-grandsons, Douglas and Paul Nichols; four great-grandsons, Jon, Ben, Nate & Tyler; one great-granddaughter, Shelby; and nine step-great-grandchildren.
Clarence is further survived by a sister, Mildred Perso of Arpin; two half-brothers, Dallas (Rachel) Sieg of Augusta and Vilas (Dolly) Sieg of Augusta; a half-sister, Doreen (Warren) Barberg of Eau Claire; numerous nieces and nephews and their families, as well as, special friends.
He will be greatly missed by his family and the many friends who visited with him. In his last years, he was especially thankful and appreciative of the Oakwood Villa staff and how they took a personal interest in him. It was always a special time when friends or relatives stopped for a visit. We all know that now he is in God's hands and will probably be watching his trees grow.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, September 1, 1999, at Bethel Baptist Church, with The Reverend Terry Thorud officiating.
