About 1949 or 1950, Claude (Uncle Slim) and wife, Augie operated a store in Sparks, Oklahoma called the "Put and Take" Store. It was in the old bank building built in 1905. Later they went to Yermo, California where they operated a service station and cafe. The cafe was called "Rolling Wheels Cafe". They operated until Claude became ill with a tumor of the lymph gland, which caused his death in 1961. Augie moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where her daughter from a previous marriage resided. Augie lived in Las Vegas until her death in 1993.
