Clyman, while he was serving as a GI in the U.S. Army during World War II in her hometown of Warminster, England.  Oscar was discharged from the service on January 6, 1946. He returned to Warminster, England, to marry Phyllis on January 6, 1947.  Their first child, a son, was born a year later on January 6, 1948, followed by a daughter.

They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, and then travelled to their farm southeast of Golden City, Missouri, where they engaged in a crop and livestock operation for 45 years. This farm was later designated a Missouri Century Farm.  In addition to being a farm wife, Phyllis enjoyed playing piano for the Dudenville United Methodist Church, gardening, sewing, knitting, cooking, taking care of numerous pets, always sending encouraging cards and letters to family and friends, and maintaining a loving home.

Oscar and Phyllis moved to Nevada, Missouri in 1992 and became members of the Nevada First Baptist Church.
