He was a mechanic and chauffeur for the prominent Hamilton family of Omaha. This is where he met his wife, Caroline Jipp Melvin. She did some babysitting for the family. Their only daughter, Caroline, remembers hearing the story that her Mother, also known as La La, was taking a walk with a friend near the Hamilton's one day. Claude was washing the Hamilton car and squirted her with the hose. She didn't think it was humorous and would not go out with him for some period.
Claude was sickly during most of the marriage. It is thought that he had stomach problems due to his boxing days. Caroline worked outside the home for many years to sustain the family's needs.
Claude's death certificate indicated he died of bronchiopneumonia and pulmonary edema. He had an electrolyte imbalance and acute gastric dilatation. He was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Omaha, Nebraska.

She had several jobs during her lifetime. Since her husband was ill, she helped the family make ends meet by being a retail clerk, cafeteria supervisor of a Bomber Plant during World War II and ran a corner ice cream stand.
She spent her last few years in Phoenix, Arizona where her only daughter lived and after her death was buried next to her husband in Omaha, Nebraska at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
