Description
Photograph of three Click family siblings: (Seated l to r) Margarette (Click) Shelton and Barbara (Click) Litten; and standing is Allen Click. When this photograph was taken, these were the youngest three (of seven) children of William Lorenza Sr. (1880-1960) and Martha Louise (Jordan) (1903-1964) Click. At least 4 additional children were born after this photograph was made.
In the 1940 census, the three children lived with five other siblings and their parents in the Ashby District. Their father farmed.
Margarette left home and worked as a sales clerk in a Washington D.C. department store. In 1950, she married Glen Clifton Shelton (1927-1985), an army man stationed at Ft. Belvoir. The couple’s son, Glen William Shelton, was born in 1952, in California. Eventually, the family moved back to Shenandoah County where they owned and operated a bowling alley at the time of Glen C.’s death.
Barbara Ruth still lived with her family in the 1950 census. Five years later, she married Edwin Leroy Litten (1932-2000). He had served in the U.S. Marines during the Korean conflict. The couple raised their family and lived in Quicksburg.
Allen Eugene served 23 years in the U.S. Air Force. During that time, he had assignments in Japan and Spain. In 1955, he married Cuba Spiggle and they spent 66 years together before he died. They had 3 children, Ricky, Terry, and Lynn.
After his military service, he managed the Massanutten Lanes bowling center; attended Lord Fairfax Community College and earned an associate's degree; then worked for Ohio Medical as a technician on anesthesia equipment. His last residence was in Kissimmee, Florida.
