INFO FROM RYAN MORRIS: According to family lore, Cleveland was a giant of a man, standing over 6'4" tall with broad shoulders. And strong as a mountain. It's been said that he could bend rail spikes in his bare hands. Once, while working in a field, he found himself the target of a bull rush. Thinking fast, he lifted a field stone the size of a watermellon over his head, crashed it into the bull's head and knocked the bull off his feet.

Cleveland married Jean Lois CAMPBELL on 13 Sep 1924 in Cedar Rapids, Linn Co, IA.¹ (Jean Lois CAMPBELL was born about 1907 in IA,⁷ died on 13 Mar 1930 in Cedar Rapids, Linn Co, IA ⁸ and was buried in Oak Hill Cem, Cedar Rapids, Linn Co, IA ⁶.)
