Grandma has told me so many stories over the years. I wish I wouldhave had the forethought to write them all down as she told them. Sheloves talking about her parents and she had so much respect for them.Her memories of her parents are not spectacular, they were ordinary farmpeople who raised a large family. She remembers her mother lifting herto pick cherries because she was to small to reach them. Her mothercalled her, her little Goldie. When she speaks of her parents you canfeel the love she had for them. One of her favorite stories to tell ishow she used to go do the house work and make the bread for her AuntMartha. Her daddy would see Uncle Charlie coming up the lane and hewould say " Goldie her comes Charlie, Mattie must have the grunts again",Grandma would go off with Charlie Jones and knead the bread, Mattie wouldcall her to bedside and have her bring a basin of water and a towel,Mattie would touch the bread dough and then tell Goldie to knead it somemore it wasn't soft enough. Grandma's bread still bring backs fondmemories. As an adult I would still ask her to make some bread andvegetable soup for me or bread and slippery pot pie. She likes to cometo my house and sit on the deck, my view is not spectacular but she likesit. When she would come I would get her to make slippery pot pie forsupper. She would talk about her chores at home when she was a child "My job at home was to gather the eggs, crack the corn, feed the chickensand clean the coop. I guess I was very good at it because my mum gave methat job to do all the time." Grandma left school to help on the farmand on neighboring farms.
Her generation would have to give any money they earned to theirparents.
One of my first real memories of my Grandma is when we moved herefrom Cheyenne, Wyoming. We stayed with Grandma and Grandpap for a fewweeks. It was my first experience with an outhouse, of course that wasa real treat. "HA". They lived on a small farm with cows, pigs andchickens. In Wyoming we lived near horse ranches. I had never had freshmilk before so the idea of getting the milk into the bucket from the cowand then drinking it was a big turn off. I don't drink milk to thisday. We used to live next to a chicken processing plant in Wyoming, thechickens were in big buildings so we could only hear them. I was notprepared for chickens running all over the yard pooping everywhere. Wehad to always watch our step when we walked out the back door. And whenwe had fried chicken Grandma didn't pull it out of the freezer or gettake out. She would chase one of those chickens catch it by the legstake it over to the big stump and grab the ax. Presto, fried chicken,well not that easy because first you had to pull its feathers and pintails out. A real pleasant job reserved for the kids. I still smile whenI think of those days,but I try not to breathe to deeply , what fun wehad. We would get up early in the morning go out into the garden find abig yellow tomato and bring it in, put some bread in the toaster and haveour tomato sandwich for breakfast. Grandma had a new bathroom upstairsbut it was reserved for night time use, so the out house was still themost used. We even took our baths in a big metal tub in the summerkitchen. That kitchen is still etched into my memory. It was so largeand cool it had a big freezer next to a wall of floor to ceiling cabinetspainted green, the sink still had the hand pump and the wood stove wherethey heated the water for our baths was on the opposite side of thesink.
At the other end of the house was the parlor room with a big piano, weweren't allowed in there very often. There was no television, we playedoutside until dark and then we would go to bed. I really don't rememberbeing bored at Grandma's house.

Cyrus lived next to his father in Cumberland County in 1880. He wasmarried to Amelia and they had the following children. Sally age 6,Harry age 5, John age 4, Laura age 2 and Nanny age . It is probable thatthey lived and worked on the large farm that George H. owned. By theyear 1890 he and Amelia had moved to Franklin county, Hamilton Twn. Thedeath certificate for Charlotte Amelia list her cause of death asCerebral Hemmorage. She died on Jan. 18, 1925 at 8:15. The address islisted as Chambersburg R.R. 1. Letterkenny Twn. Her parents were listedas Henry Boughman and Nancy Rose. It is my opinion that the name givento their daughter Nanny was Nancy and the nickname became her knownname. The death certificate for Cyrus C. gives the cause of death asacute dil. of the heart. He had been under Dr. Thomas White's care fromMay 5. 1932 until his death on June 17, 1932 at 6:00am, Friday.

George Washington had only been President for one year when theseventh child of Barney was born, George Henry Clever. By the time hewas six the second President John Adams was elected in 1796.
And by 1810 at the age of twenty the U.S. population reached 7.2 millionpeople. With the first railroad built in 1828 it was evident that thewounds of this country were finally healed. In 1848 the very 1st GoldRush began in California. The 1820 Federal Census shows George probablyliving on the farm that was his father's. Living with him are 3 males10-16, 1 male 26-45, 1 female 10-16, 1 female 16-18 and 1 female 18-26.They also list 1 person not a naturalized foreigner. They probably hadhired hands or servants in their employ. Some of these younger peoplecould be brothers and sisters of Mr. and Mrs. Clever. By 1830 the censusshows 2 males under 5 and George as a male 40-50. There are 2 femalesunder 5 and 2 females 5-10 and 2 females 20-30.
George married Elizabeth Hippenstell between 1810-1820. They livedon the farm that had belonged to his father. They had 5 daughters andonly one son although the 1830 census lists two males under 5 it ispossible that a son had died at a early age.

George heiratete Hippenstell, Maria Elizabeth. Maria wurde geboren in 1800 in , Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA; und gestorben in South Hampton Town, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, USA. [Familienblatt] [Familientafel]

With the French and Indian War over in 1763 and John Bernhardt Clever (Kleber) now sixteen years of age was old enough to work, if hehadn't before. Many of the Germans left the area and headed west towardCumberland Valley. The Germans were offered land if they would relocateto the Valley. Penn had purchased the land years before in an effort tokeep Maryland from laying claim and to keep faith with the Indians thatthey would have their own land. The Scots-Irish were the maininhabitants of the Valley and their restless nature was not good for theland. The Germans were very good judges of the land and they worked hardto keep it a practicing economy. After the war the people returned totheir land and the fields were soon producing and industry was movingin. It was probably what brought John Bernhardt to Cumberland County.He probably worked hard and finally fulfilled his ancestors dream ofliving a good and quiet life. By 1770 the people were protesting payingtaxes to the mother country of Great Britain. Once again the country wasinvaded, this time by the British. In 1775 the American RevolutionaryWar against the British began and did not end until 1783. He was aprivate in the 4th Co., 3rd. Battalion of Cumberland, Co. H.
At the age of twenty eight John Bernhardt (Barney) Clever marriedMargaret Elizabeth Bollinger who was born in Cumberland County thedaughter of Johann Rudolf Bollinger and Margaretha Dorr of CumberlandCounty. Johann Bollinger was the son of Christian Bollinger and SusannaBechler of German descent. Barney and his wife had twelve children andhad made a good living for their family. He had a 240 acre farm that henamed "Mansion Farm" also called "Mansion Estate", that was deeded to himin 1788 by the agents of Penn and was a successful man in his own right.With his hard work and his ancestors dreams finally realized, Barneymust have felt very clever indeed. The 1810 Federal Census shows BarneyClever in South Hampton Twn. of Cumberland County with 4 males under 10,3 males 16-25, 1 male 26-45 and 1 male over 45 (Barney). There were 2females under 10 and 4 females between 10-15 and a female over 45(Margaret). Some of the younger children were more likely grandchildrenliving with them. Margaret Elizabeth died in the prime of her lifesometime before 1816. John Bernhardt died June 28, 1816 at the age ofseventy, rich from experiences.
