Clara was the wife of William Oscar Reno, the carpet weaver.

"Mrs. W. O. Reno Clara Jennings, daughter of T. A. and Belinda Jennings, was born in Southern Kansas, March 7, 1860, and in spite of all that loving care and competent medical skill could do, departed this life at her home in Iola, February 16, 1925, being 64 years, 11 months and 9 days of age. Her early childhood was spent in Missouri and she removed with her parents to Kansas in 1878 and the remainder of her life was spent here, 27 years of her life were spent in Iola. On May 5, 1880 she was united in marriage to W. O. Reno and this union was blessed with three children; one son, Chester A., and two daughters, Grace and Montie Estelia; who, in infancy preceded her mother to the Great Beyond. At an early age she was gloriously converted and united with the United Brethren church at Yates Center and lived a consistent Christian life till the end. Although a great sufferer she was always cheerful and courageous and through the long, weary months of suffering not even those nearest her, ever heard her murmur or complain and when her suffering was most intense she met her family and friends with a pleasant smile and a cordial greeting and her room was always made bright and cheerful by beautiful flowers, tokens of love and sympathy of relatives and friends. She bore her suffering with such patience and Christian fortitude as to be an example to all with whom she came in contact. She was a faithful companion, most devoted mother, true friend and loyal neighbor; although being passionately devoted to her family and home she was ever ready to lend a helping hand wherever opportunity afforded, and only eternity can reveal the influence of her life and earth is brighter and heaven richer because of the life of this good woman. The aged companion, loving son, Chester A., devoted daughter Grace, who is the efficient principal of Jefferson school, two grandchildren, Marguerite and Gordon Reno, an only sister, Mrs. Ella Stewart, all of Iola, two brothers W. L. Jennings of Yates Center and E. F. Jennings of Pittsburg, together with other relatives and a host of friends are left to mourn and miss her, but how in humble submission, realizing their loss is Heaven's gain. Oh, mother, thou art gone to rest; We will not weep for thee; For thou are now, where, oft on earth, Thy spirit longed to be. Oh, mother, thou art gone to rest; And this shall be our prayer. That when we reach our journey's end, Thy glory we shall share. - A Close Friend."
