Clara Jane was born prematurely, and her parents were afraid of losing
her. "She is our Pet," they told people. The name stuck. Pet lived to be 80. Everyone in the family loved her! As soon as I was big enough to walk she took me on my first walks in our neighborhood in Joplin. I thought so highly of Aunt Pet that I named my daughter after her.
Born in Bolivar, Pet moved to Springfield, Missouri, with her family in 1909 and then to a farm near Adair, Oklahoma, in 1920. She married Dick Youngblood but they later divorced. She moved to Joplin, Missouri, and lived there for the rest of her life with her older sister, Vernie [Goff] Bryson.
