  The report of Clyde as Single is an error in the transcription either to the Index by the State from the certificate or by Ancestry from the Index.  His death certificate reports him as married, which is correct.  His wife is named as Pearl Askins in  the death certificate.  He was married to Pearl Louise Jackson till his death.  She later married Ralph Blevins.  After Ralph's death, Pearl changed her name back to Askins.  She was buried in a joint grave with Clyde, and they share a joint stone in Curtis Cemetery (see below).
