AS I WAS TOLD: Anna, the youngest Clemens girl, went to Normal School (secretarial school) and worked at the Mayo Clinic. She was the last girl at home and the last to wed. She married Frank Walsh, a truck driver, an auto salesman, and a grain elevator man, which was as close as he came to farming. After their boys were born, she and Frank moved to Iowa. Anna, Frank, and all three of their sons died of heart attacks, not a common cause of death in the family. Anna was pleasant, kind, and always had a smile. She and her sister Agnes were best friends.
