Ancestry.com offers the following information on Grace Turner Clonts:

First of all, a family tree entry shows a few discrepancies with the information you've furnished; for example, your grandmother's middle name is given as Mary instead of Maude, and no mention is made of her death in El Paso, Texas:

Birth name: Grace Mary Turner
Birth date: 29 Mar 1890
Birth place: Atchinson, Kansas, USA
Death date: 20 May 1920
Death place: Osage City, Kansas, USA

A 1910 US Census entry notes that Grace was born about 1888, that her father's birthplace was New York, and that her mother's birthplace was England. Arthur Brockett Clouts, Grace's husband, according to the 1910 Census, was born about 1878 in Missouri; his father's birth place was Tennessee while his mother's birthplace was England. The couple were boarders in Boonville Ward 3, Cooper, Missouri in 1910.

In 1920, the US Census lists Arthur, Sr. and Jr., Alpheus, and Grace Clont as living in El Paso Precinct 15 of El Paso, Texas.

Your father was born Alpheus Eugene Clonts, 10 Jan 1912, in Jasper, Missouri, and his older brother was born Arthur Clonts, 14 March 1910, in Missouri. Grace and Arthur married in about 1910, according to the public family tree entry recorded on Ancestry.com.

Very occasionally, I have run across family photos downloaded into the Ancestry.com data base, but I didn't see any for Grace Turner Clonts. Good luck in your search.
