I am looking for any information on my grandfather, Clarence Stevens. He was born ca 1885, according to my mother's birth certificate, in Bedford, Iowa. He apparently ran away from home at an early age and became a performer. He may have been married for a short time in Iowa when he was young. He later moved to Tennessee where he married my grandmother Amelia Grayson in the mid 1910's. He divorced my grandmother in the late 1920's and moved to Atlanta, GA where he lived until his death 12/27/1957. He had a brother or half-brother named Russell Stevens who later lived in Sacramento, CA. The family may have moved to IA from Canada. I would appreciate any information on this family.

I am looking for more information on the McMATH family that settled in Clearfield, Taylor County. John Chalmers McMATH was born 8/7/1857 and died on 1/22/1939. He is buried in Clearfield Cemetery. Any information about any McMATH's in Iowa would be greatly appreciated.

 I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has done, or is interested in researching the "Musfeldt/Musfelt" family line. I am specifically researching in the Iowa, Nebraska, Dakotas and Minnesota areas. I can help with family lines in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada.
