Another source for information on the parents of Clara is her Pennsylvania State Death Certificate. While this is certainly Clara. due to her married name Rutman and the same parents as on the above census, her birth date
is off by about a year. I have used the birth date from the baptism record cited above, which handwritten original I have consulted, and the death date from the Death Certificate.
