William Clifton Freeman was born June 26, 1904, to W.S. Freeman and Mary
  Caroline (Carrie Bales) his wife, on a farm 1 1/2 miles north of Sun City,
  Kansas. My brothers are Chester E. and Clyde D., with sisters Ida, Caroline
  (Dollie - Mrs. J.R. Olmsted), Mary Ethel (Mrs. Geo. Urton), and Lucy Belle
  (Mrs. Dan Winnop).
     I attended grade school and high school at Sun City, but graduated from
  high school at Winfield, Kansas. I graduated from Southwestern College with 
  an AB Degree from Wichita State University with a Masters Degree in Education.
  I was in the education field for thirty-nine years, having taught in the
  following schools: Crooked Creek, Isabel, Fellsburg, Lake City, Norwich,
  Haysville, and six years as County Superintendent of Barber County.
     I was married to Nora Elsie Sylender on September 8, 1925, at Winfield,
  Kansas, on the day I enrolled in college, where my wife was attending and
  later graduated. To assist financially, I worked on the campus for thirty-
  nine cents per hour, also on a construction crew starting at thirty-five
  cents per hour; I was then promoted to foreman of the concrete construction
  crew, to fifty cents per hour.
     My hobbies were sports such as fishing, hunting, baseball, basketball,
  football, reading, and visiting with neighbors and friends.
     Some of the things I recall most vividly are that we either walked one
  and one-half miles to school or drove in a buggy over roads that were very
  poorly maintained. On cold days rocks were heated in the old range stove oven,
  wrapped in a blanket, and put in the bottom of the buggy to keep our feet warm.
     Sun City was a nice little western town with such business places as Bissantz
  General Merchandise, the livery barn, hotel, post office, elevator, doctors
  offices, Baldings General Merchandise. There was also the church and school, 
  Metz Lumber and hardwar, barber shop, Sears General Merchandise, and First
  State Bank.
     Both my wife and I were in the field of education for twenty-one years
  together. My work was mostly in the field of coaching, social science, and
  administration. Hers was English and languages. We both enjoyed our work very
  much, having met a goodly number of wonderful students and friends of whom
  we are very proud.
     I have enjoyed the pleasure of serving on the state library board for 
  schools; also as state representative of the 100th district for Barber and
  Harper Counties. I was board member of the housing authority of Medicine Lodge
  and the Council for the Aging of the Leisure Center. I am a member of Masonic
  Delta Lodge No. 77, and both my wife and I are members of the Eastern Star,
  and members of the Lake City Methodist Church.
