Clara Belle Henderson was born August 5, 1893 at Piedmont, Oklahoma, on the farm homesteaded by her grandmother, Rachel (Wood) Parman. Mrs. Parman made the run in 1889 in a covered wagon from Johnson County, Missouri, with seven children. Her husband had died in Missouri six years earlier.
Clara Henderson married ROGER QUE MILLS CAMPBELL, July 28, 1910, in Chandler. He was the son of Thomas Jefferson Campbell and Terressa (Ritchie). To this union was born a daughter, Elsie Mary Campbell. Roger was born in 1890 in Missouri, and died at Jennings, Oklahoma, August 8, 1914, of tuberculosis. He is buried in the Jennings Cemetery in an unmarked* grave.
*Note: There is a large upright rock that has served as a marker for many years.
On February 5, 1919 in Chandler, Oklahoma, the widowed Clara (Henderson) Campbell married Edgar Campbell. The newlyweds spent their honeymoon in the St. Cloud Hotel in Chandler. In the early 1920's, the family went to Cedar Edge, Colorado, on Grand Mesa, where Edgar worked in a sawmill, and Clara cooked for the camp. They made the trip to Colorado in their Model "T" Ford. Edgar told how he burned out two clutches going up Monarch Pass. The roads were so steep that they had to rev the engine, let out the clutch to lurch forward, and have someone put a log behind the wheels in order to get over the high passes.
Clara Henderson Campbell died October 9, 1980. Edgar Campbell died March 24, 1976. Both are buried in White Dove Cemetery, Sparks.
