- Cleaola Alice (Livesay) Ernst
- She was born in Montana, Kansas to Henry Monroe Livesay and Sarah (Holt) Livesay. She was one of eight children. The family moved to Hotchkiss, Colorado on July 4, 1897, when Cleaola was almost six years old. Her parents ran a general store in town, and the family lived in a two-story house on Main Street. Her father also was a tinsmith with his own tin shop, and was a plumber who knew steam fitting. During the summer, members of the family worked in the sawmill. Cleaola graded and packed apples and peaches for orchards around Hotchkiss, and worked for a dressmaker. She attended local schools until the 10th grade. She then quit school and went to Pueblo to become a nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital. She also took three years of nurse’s training at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver. She worked for one year as a nurse before moving to Ontario, Oregon, where she married James A. Clark. Beginning in 1914, they homesteaded in Montana. Drought and forest fires forced them to return to Colorado in 1919 (She later wrote the book Homesteading in Montana). US Census records show them living on Bridge Street in Hotchkiss, with James Clark working as a farm laborer and Cleaola as a homemaker. The 1930 Census shows James working as a general laborer and Cleaola as a laundress working from their home. They had three children, but divorced in 1930. Colorado marriage records show that she married John Rollings Charlesworth, a lawyer from England, in Hotchkiss on June 14, 1931. He died just months later, on October 5, 1931. The 1940 Census shows her working as a nurse. She is listed as married, but as living alone with her daughter. She married again to Frederick Guy “Fred” Ernst. They had two children. They moved to Grand Junction, where he died in 1949. Cleaola is buried in Grand Junction. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
