Hello, My father knew both of them quite well and I own some pictures of both of them. My
father never talked of them having any children however. Manetho or Bud as my father
called him served aboard a B-17 during WW2 as a tailgunner, he survived the war but sadly
died in the 1950's but I dont have the exact date. It seems I also remember Clara
having died sometime during the same time period as she was not alive as of 1970. Both had
a somewhat hard life according to my father. In the early 1970's after my grandmother
died my father obtained everything Manetho had once owned including his medals from the
war which also leads me to believe he had no children. I have been trying to find some
information as well as to their deaths but have been unsuccessfuL. From what I learned
from my father was Manetho had a very impressive record during the war but hard times fell
on him hard once the war ended. I wish I had better news to offer you. My father's
side has very few people left!
. Good luck in your quest........Mark K. Smith
