52 Ancestors Week #26 - Clara Eliya McNeal

Clara is my 2nd great grand aunt.

Clara was born on 25 Apr 1882 in Beason, Indiana to Charles Daniel McNeal (1858-1937) and Mary Louisa Alfred (1858-1941).  Clara had twelve siblings:
Clara married Brady Hollenbaugh (1877-1937) on 14 Dec 1899 in Ogle County, Illinois.  They had four children:
  • Charles L. (1901-?)
  • Julia E. (1903-?)
  • Helen S. (1907-?)
  • Lewis S. (1909-1984)
Clara and family lived in Byron, Illinois according to the 1900, 1910, 1930 and 1940 federal census.  The 1920 census had Clara living in Rockvale, Illinois.

It looks like after Brady's death in 1937, Clara moved in with her mother, Mary per the 1940 census.

Clara died on 16 Sep 1976 at age 94.
