Clair Adrian Loken was born on the family farm on October 26, 1940 in Emmons, MN to parents Lewis and Alice (Johnson) Loken.  He attended Country School #105, walking across their field to get to school.  He was baptized, confirmed, and was a lifetime member of Emmons Lutheran Church.  He graduated from Emmons High School in 1958.  Clair farmed his entire life.  Growing crops and caring for livestock was what Clair enjoyed doing.  When he could, he would get away from the farm and attend local auctions around the area, always looking for a bargain.
