Son of Millard H. Fore and Eliza D. Miner, Claude Elmo Fore married Nellie Agnes Posey on June 6, 1916 in Lodi, San Joaquin Co., CA
California, County Marriages, 1850-1952

A young and enterprising farmer of the Lafayette district of San Joaquin County may be found in Claude Elmo Fore, who is successfully farming a forty-acre tract of land on the Sargent Road, four miles west of Lodi. He was born at Clements, September 18, 1890, a son of Millard Henry and Eliza Demoretta (Miner) Fore, both natives of Missouri, whose sketch will be found elsewhere in this history.
Claude Elmo Fore attended Woodbridge School for one year; then his parents moved to Clements and he attended the Athearn School for two years; then the family removed to Butte County, where they farmed 2,250 acres of land near Biggs, and here he finished his education. In 1904 the family moved back to Woodbridge, where they have since resided. The father passed away in 1909, while the mother is still living on her ten-acre ranch two miles west of Lodi on the Kelly Road. At twenty-one years of age Claude Elmo Fore left home to make his own way, and for five years was employed in the shipping department of the Holt Manufacturing Company at Stockton. He then returned to Lodi, and on June 6, 1916, was married to Miss Nellie Agnes Posey, a native of San Joaquin County, daughter of John M. Posey, also represented in this history. Mrs. Fore attended the Turner district school and was later graduated from the Lodi high school. Mr. and Mrs. Fore are the parents of three children: Claude Elmo, Jr., Burdette Marion, and Dorothy Lorraine.
Since his marriage Mr. Fore has had charge of the forty-acre vineyard belonging to his father-in-law, and since 1918 has resided on the ranch. He is a Democrat in his political affiliations, and fraternally is a member of Stockton Parlor No. 7, N. S. G. W., and of Jefferson Lodge No. 98, I. O. O. F., Woodbridge. While in the employ of the Holt Company and residing in Stockton, he became a charter member of Battery C, National Guard of California, serving a term of three years until mustered out. Public progress, as manifested in material, educational and social advancement, is a matter of deep interest to him and he gives earnest support to every measure which he believes will contribute to the general good.

Emo Fore Dies
Stricken On Trip To See Son
Elmo Fore, 61, Sargent road rancher, passed away in a hospital in Washington, Mo., at about 9 p.m. yesterday the result of a ruptured appendix, word received here late last night said. At his bedside was his wife, Mrs. Nelle Fore. The two were on a motor trip East to see a son, Burdett, who is attending the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, N.Y., when Mr. Fore was taken ill of a ruptured appendix last Saturday and was hospitalized.
News of their father's critical condition had Claude Fore of Lodi, a son, and his two daughters, Mrs. Bonnie HIeb of Lodi and Mrs. Dorothy Smith of Farmington, ready to leave by plane from Mills Field at San Francisco late last night and an attempt was being made to inform them of their father's passing.
Mr. Fore was a native of the Clements district and had farmed most of his life in this area. Only two weeks ago, on March 14, an older brother, Charles Fore, passed away here as the result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident which also claimed the life of his wife.
Besides his widow and four children, Mr. Fore is survived by three brothers, Millard Fore, Nobel Fore and Clarence Fore, all of Lodi; and a sister, Mrs. Jewel Grimsley of Stockton.
