At one point in time she was confused with our Clara.
Research:
Researched and written by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) for Findagrave starting on September 10, 2003. Updated on June 9, 2011 with the distinction between the Christian Clara Horwitz and the Jewish Clara Horwitz based on the marriage record of Sigmund and Clara found on that day. At one time Clara Charlotte Horwitz was the prime candidate for our Clara before her marriage record was discovered. On July 7, 2011 Kevin Borland posited that Clara died in New York or aboard the ship that was taking them to the US. Her last born child was born in New York and he found her applying for naturalization.
