"Norie" St. Clair and the old time store and post office at Shively are a part of Logan County History. She was a grand lady and a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother who lived an active life of 98 years. I pray blessings and comfort to all the family.

Ruth, Ruby and Buddy, it is so sad that you have lost your mother. Nora was four days older and was Mom's "twin" sister for their first nine years and always thereafter. Your Mom was our aunt, not just Mom's cousin. It was so much fun when as kids we visited the St. Clairs and the farm and fished in the creek, rode a mule, played in the cornfields, etc. God bless you all.
