Ida Clouse (1858-1946) was a nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital. Through the Homestead Act, Ida obtained 160 acres of land in 1917. 35 acres of Clouse Ranch eventually became Southwestern Conservative Baptist Bible College, now known as Arizona Christian University.

    Bancroft and Moffitt Letters
    (Arizona Christian University, 1972)
    Two letters: The letter dated May 24, 1972 is a letter written by Rev. Roy O. Bancroft to Rev. Claude F. Moffitt. The letter was sent with the original image of Ida Clouse from 1946 (image viewable at this link https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14097/282). The image was sent so Southwestern College could make some form of dedication to Ida's legacy. The letter dated May 26, 1972 is a letter written by Rev. Claude F. Moffitt to Rev. Roy O. Bancroft. The letter was sent to thank Roy for the image of Ida (mentioned above) and included the intentions to make a dedication to Ida and display it in one of Southwestern College's buildings. Moffitt also thanks Roy for his own work regarding the foundation of the school in this letter.
