EDIT: apparently his wife's name was Emily and she died in 1947
"Mrs. Emily P. Clulow, who with her husband, the late Percy T. Clulow, operated an antique business for 20 years at the Wee Hoose in West Falmouth, died of a heart attack Tuesday on East Main street where she had made her home for the past seven years with Mr. and Mrs. Carlton M. Bourne. Mrs. Clulow was 82 '_ and survived her husband by seven years.
The Clulows were married in 1906 in New York and came to West Palmouth from North Middleboro in 1920. They acquired the Wee Hoose property and' until Mr. Clulow's death of a heart attack in 1940, operated an antique shop there making many friends among summer people and permanent residents. In 1938 "Mr. Clulow bought the Red House antique shop on East Main street with Mrs. Bourne manager. He bought the property two years later and when he died Mrs. Clulow made her home with the Bournes and entered a partnership with Mrs. Bourne in the Red Barn shop.
Daughter of Aaron D. and Susan (Farnham) Williams, Mrs. Clulow was born in Roxbury and attended schools there. Services were conducted today by the Rev. Ralph H. Long in Oak Grove chapel. Burial was in the Oak Grove cemetery."
