Clara took sick Wednesday and was taken to Mercy Hospital, where she received the very best of medical treatment, but despite all that she grew worse and on Sunday night she died, her death being caused by peritonitis. Clara was 28 years of age, a kind, good-natured young woman and was greatly liked by all who knew her. The remains were brought here Monday, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Lena Waterman, and her sister, Mrs. A. J. Schnepf, who were with her at the time of her death. She is preceded in death by her father, Chas. Waterman, and two brothers, George and Henry.
