<br />Louisville directories show that James and Emma Clark were living at 708 Pine in 1916, and in 1918, they are listed
<br />as living here with their daughter, Mae.
<br />From 1918 to 1944, the properties at 708 Pine and 716 Pine were associated with one another again. Emma Rockley
<br />Clark's brother, Newton Rockley, purchased 716 Pine next door to her, and owned and lived there from 1918 to
<br />1931. He then sold 716 Pine in 1931 to the parents of his wife, Minnie Baessler. Her parents then continued to own it
<br />and reside at 716 Pine until 1944. Thus, relatives of one another were living in these two houses for an extended
<br />period.
<br />At the time of the 1920 census, James and Emma and their daughter, Olive, were living in Frederick, Weld County,
<br />Colorado, and their son, William Clark, was living with his family at 708 Pine. The Louisville directory for 1921 also
<br />lists their son, William Clark, as living at 708 (then 424) Pine at that time. William Clark's wife was Nora Clark, and
<br />their children were Wilbur and June. (Wilbur Clark would later become one of Louisville's Gold Star Boys of World
<br />War II, as he was killed in the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942.) Daughter Ellen Clark Seeley is shown in the 1920
<br />census records as living very close by with her husband and baby daughter. Based on where they appear on the
<br />census page and with the street of Jefferson indicated, it appears that they were renting 620 Jefferson (5BL11292), a
<br />house that is believed to have been a rental at the time.
<br />By 1923, James and Emma Clark were back at 708 Pine, and they continued here. Records indicate that their
<br />daughter, Mae, continued to live with them. The 1930 census records shows James and his daughter, Mae, at 708
<br />Pine, while Emma Clark was hospitalized.
<br />Emma Rockley Clark died in 1931 and James Clark died in 1936. Beginning in 1943, Louisville directories began to
<br />list their daughter, Olive Clark Sneddon, and her husband, James Sneddon (1898-1960), as living in this house.
<br />Property records show that in 1945, Olive's siblings transferred their ownership interests to the Sneddons. The
<br />Sneddons' children were Emajane Sneddon (Enrietto) (1927-2000) and Robert Sneddon (1934-2006).
<br />Jim Sneddon (1898-1960), who was born in Montana to Scottish parents, worked as a coal miner in the Louisville
<br />area for many years. His leg was broken in a coal mining accident and he shifted to doing construction work for
<br />Public Service. Olive Clark Sneddon worked for the University of Colorado as a housekeeper.
<br />Emajane Sneddon worked as a telephone operator and lived in this house, as did her brother, Robert. Emajane
<br />married Robert Enrietto in 1948. The 1951 directory shows that they lived at 708 Pine with Emajane's parents. They
<br />then moved to their own house at 700 Hutchinson.
<br />In 1969, Nash and Martha Rangel purchased 708 Pine from Olive Clark Sneddon. They are still the owners and
<br />residents.
<br />708 Pine was known as 424 Pine in the 1910s and 1920s, under Louisville's old address system. In the early 1930s,
<br />it was known as 420 Pine, and in 1936, it was known as 446 Pine. In 1940, it was known as 702 Pine.
