Clara LaDosky Gee led a varied and fulfilling life. Clara (called "Doskie" by family and friends) was the wife of S. Bradford Rymer Sr., married on July 22, 1902 in Polk County, Tennessee. Clara and S. Bradford Rymer established the Dixie Foundry in 1916, which eventually became "Magic Chef". Magic Chef was eventually sold to Maytag Corporation. Clara and S. Bradford Rymer had 8 children, including Zola Marine Rymer, the author of "A Family Chronicle of S. Bradford Rymer" (1960), which describes the lives and times of Clara, her husband and family. Clara was 106 years of age at the time of her death in 1991.
