** re Clara: findagrave has the following note, probably written by "Joanne" on 1 Dec 2013, the person who created the memorial
"Mother to Donald Bollman. Married Patrick H Smith 1922 and had Frances Catherine. The two girls moved to Minneapolis and Clara never remarried.
I am not sure what happened to Patrick, but his is gone before 1930." ... this is very confusing

BUT ..... Johnson Family Tree (Tammy Johnson), notes Clara's second marriage to:
Patrick H Smith (no dates) and a child, Katherine Frances Smith, 1922-
in the 1930 US Census, Stockholm Twp, Wright Com ED 0033; sheet 6A&6B; dw/fam 129/130 [line 48]
