Betty "Bessie"Danielsen Clawes 48, born in Copenhagen, Denmark 17 September 1878, was married to (German Born) Richard Clawes, (1879-1946) on 27 June 1900, in Chicago. It was a real "melting pot there". They were parents of: Roy Alexander Clawes (1900-1959), Russell Clawes (1905-1961), and first child Anna (1889-1899 who died an infant, unknown reason). Betty was the daughter of (Danish born) Viggo A. Danielsen (1847-1903), and her mother (Swedish born), Betty Swanson Danielsen (1848-1931). The 1900 US Census shows that she, her mother, and brother Axel Danielsen (1877-1900), immigrated to the US in 1893. This was a year after her father Viggo in 1892. All came from through Denmark. At the time of the Census (in 1900), Bessie was a "Dressmaker", her father Viggo a "Book Keeper" and he was also (I discovered later), "Supreme Secretary of the Danish Brotherhood in America". Her year older brother, Axel Danielsen was listed as a "Musician". He only lived until he was 23 years old, dieing from Consumption or what is now called "TB" on the 4th of July 1900 only a week after her wedding. Betty held offices in a women's organization called the "Eastern Star". She was concidered a "Great Club Woman", so it seemed she and her father were very active in the community. For a time she worked as a "Cigar Roller" or maker of cigars, also according to Ina, Jessie and Mary in family genealogy discussions.
She died on 4 December 1926 at the young age of 48 years from breast cancer. She would live to see one grandchild born earlier on 3 June 1926, who was hers and her mother's namesake, Betty Jean Clawes.
Bessie Danielsen Clawes is my G-Grandmother.
