Its legal description is Section 10 Township 14 Range 16 west of the 4th meridian. The farm was started in the Fall of 1919 by Elmor Staples, Chester Staples, and Mr. Bartar. The farm was named after Clara (Staples) Green, the sister of Elmor and Chester. Alvin Hildebrand became manager of the farm in 1922 after the departure of Mr. Bartar. Hildebrand managed the farm for 27 years. The Staples family sold the farm to Donna and Emanuel Cohen in 1951.
