Clifford Louis Paumen was born February 19, 1925 on the family farm near Maple Lake to Jacob and Minnie (Wurm) Paumen. He attended rural school in Corinna Township and then continued to help on the farm, eventually taking over the farm operations. On July 23, 1946 Cliff was united in marriage to Beverly Jean Dearing at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Annandale. They made the farm their home and raised their children there. In addition to farming, Cliff also drove delivery truck for Mobil and was a Funk’s Seed salesman. Upon his retirement, Cliff worked part-time for Whispering Pines golf course. Cliff was a member of St. Timothy Catholic Church as well as the Knights of Columbus and Catholic Order of Foresters. When Cliff got a moment away from the farm, he enjoyed dancing, playing cards, trying his luck on pull-tabs and at casinos, snowmobiling, and the occasional fishing trip. Above all, Cliff treasured the time with his family, especially his grandkids and great grandkids.
