Clarence was a combat veteran in the United States Army during "The Great World War" serving in the trenches of France.
The Coburn family followed the coal camps of Kentucky eventually attracted to the huge Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company (T.C.I.) near Birmingham, Alabama. About 1950, Clarence had enough of the hardship being a coal miner and moved with his family to California; close to his sister, Alice Coburn Ramey. Clarence is one of the most documented of the Coburn siblings. Thanks to his son, Robert Jackson Coburn and grandson, Paul Burdette Coburn, we are discovering a wealth of insight into this fine American.
