  Burial Notes:

Note from FindaGrave.com:
Clara / Carra's husband William is buried here. I am hoping that she is also interred beside him.

Note from volunteer:
She is not listed in the book at the gate nor the book that the cemetery superintendent has. However, he did tell me that some records were destroyed by flooding some years back. There is a lot of unmarked space around where her husband William is buried. His stone is one of the white ones that is only a couple of inches thick and there is nothing on the back of it. Sorry to be unable to definitely confirm this burial.
