daughter of Jaouett Shelby and Deborah Davida Johnson Boone

Clara Lyle Boone was "a woman of surprises" and "one fine teacher" according to Jim Myers, a friend in the Capitol East neighborhood of Washington, DC where she lived. Kentucky born and educated, she embodied the pioneering spirit and determination of her great uncle, Daniel Boone, but in the somewhat deceptive guise of a soft-spoken, white-gloved southern gentlewoman who none the less often rode a bicycle on errand around Capitol Hill well into her 70's.
