February 26, 1933, at 8:15 a.m., will mark a month of the sudden death of Mrs. Robert Korando, (nee Clara Stovall), who died at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Shoop, Cicero, Illinois. Mrs. Korando had been ill for a long time, but her death was very sudden, due to a heart attack. She died whilst talking to her daughter, Hazel, who had been with her the last two weeks.
Clara Stovall was born at Grand Tower, Illinois, September 2, 1875. Her father was a descendant of the early settlers of Williamson County, and her mother a descendant of early Southern families--the Lewis's and Swain's, plantation owners. She was also a cousin of the late Henry Harrington of St. Louis.
She spent her early life with her mother and brothers in Grand Tower, Ill., her father having died when she was very young. She was a very alert and capable student and ranked among the highest in all of her classes when in school. Her teens were spent on and along the Mississippi River, therefore she was a lover of water life, its histories and historical spots, as well as beautiful scenery, and she had a very broad field of knowledge, her mother having been a graduate of a Southern private college, helped her to be better educated.
She came to the Mississippi River bottoms, near Raddle, to teach, where she taught successfully six years, being well liked by everyone and made many friends, one especially, Robert Korando, whom she married in September 1903 in the Catholic church at Grand Tower, Ill., where she had been a convert four years. Rev. Father Munier performed the ceremony.
To this union five children were born, James and Robert H. of Raddle, Ill.; Andrew, a student at St. Henry's Preparatory Seminary, Belleville, Ill.; Hazel, a student at St. Anthony's de Pudua Hospital, Chicago; and Elladeane, bacteriologist and supervisor of the laboratory technicians at Mt. Sinai Hospital, Chicago, Ill., known as Mrs. C. K. Shoop of Cicero.
