Her sister Emma described Clara as "a big girl". "A Polish Catholic boy lived across the street who liked her. His priest talked to him about her, because she was a different religion. He left home in anger and was never heard from again.
Clara later developed stomach pains and needed an operation which took four hours. Her incision never healed, and she died a few months later in her early twenties." However, Clara's death certificate lists her cause of death as tuberculosis.
The Kuethers lost six of their young people in their early twenties to the tuberculosis epidemic.
