Clara married Charles M. "Charley" Landis on 10 Aug 1907 in Fulton County, Indiana. They had three children: Dessie E., Bessie Lucile, and Earl H. Because the girls' names sounded so much alike, they started calling Bessie by her middle name.
Charley died from internal injuries due to a baseball accident. Earl was about a year and a half old when Charley died.
Clara was unable to raise all three children by herself. Her older sister Eva had not been able to have any children and asked to take Dessie. Her parents, Daniel and Addie, helped her raise Bessie Lucille.
When Daniel and Addie moved to Waymansville, Jackson Twp, Bartholomew County, Indiana, Clara went with them. She supported herself by cleaning houses in Seymour. One of the girls she worked with lived on a farm across the field from Brubakers, and she introduced Clara to her "old bachelor" brother, Sanford William Stockhover.
Sanford and Clara married on 6 Sep 1916. Sanford raised Earl as his own son. They had three more children: Irvin F., Violet Lorene, and Cleo Mae.
