Notes for Clayton Peters Schleicher:
When I knew Grandpa he was always fixing things. He would come up to visit and spend most of his time
working on something around the house. I also spent many days and one time all night fishing with Grandpa.
During the all night fishing trip we went to Indian Rocks pier. While we fished Grandma (Estella) slept on a
bench. I remember he wanted to teach me to help, but I was more interested in playing with friends. Now I regret
that.
One time when I was visiting with Grandma and Grandpa in Clearwater, Grandma made 8 quarts of Peanut
Butter Cookies, I ate most of them myself. I remember many times watching them play cards with friends,
usually the Arner's, Willard and his wife.
Grandpa worked at the Atlas Powder Co. When a country store became available, he bought it. It was located in
Clam Town near Tamaqua. They sold Gas, feed, groceries and candy. They also had a lunch counter. Uncle Ernie
(their son) used to slaughter the chickens on Saturdays for the chicken and waffles that they served for dinner.
Due to the depression many people couldn't pay their bills.
During World War II Clayton worked as a brakeman on the Reading Railroad, making trips from Tamaqua to
Philadelphia. Clayton also served as the cook in the caboose. Later he worked as a salesman for New York Life
Insurance Company.
Per the 1930 Census their rent was $50 a month. They did not own a radio.
