Mother: Frances Rasch (1833-1912)
Notes:
Family tradition has it that Clara assisted Oscar Rasch in researching the
Rasch Genealogy. She traveled to Germany in the early 1930's, visited the
village of Obersdorf, was shown the house in which the family lived, then
taken to the local parish church and shown letters the "Rasch brothers" had
written to the church asking for prayers as they had never been to sea and
were afraid of the long voyage to America.
The 1910 Federal Census has her still living in Grand Rapids, MI with her
aged widowed mother. In the 1920 Federal Census Clare was listed as a
lodger in a Los Angeles hotel.
Helen [Gast] Jackoboice remembers her Aunt Clara this way: "She was a world
traveler. She went with a pretty high class group of older ladies. They
were wonderful." Clara remembered the day that they were listening to the
radio with reports of getting into the War. Aunt Clara told everyone how
poor everyone was in those other countries. Helen said it was so sad that
Aunt Clara's eye sight was so poor. "She could have written many books on
all of this. Aunt Clara lived in a hotel in California."
