NEW MILFORD When Clarence Joyce was born in a Brookfield farmhouse on March 13, 1919, President Teddy Roosevelt had died in his sleep two months earlier, and the Treaty of Versailles would be signed by the end of June, ending World War I.
Clarence, who turns 102 on Saturday, still remembers the single lightbulb they had, right in the middle of the farmhouse ceiling.
