Clara Felicia Jamison was the youngest child of D. F. Jamison and Elizabeth Jamison. She was with her mother in 1865, when the family refugeed to avoid Sherman's advance. During a conversation a union officer, Elizabeth Jamison wrote the following: . "Capt. Norris was the man who had ordered by my house burnt. I asked him if it was burnt? [A]nd he said the house of a widow lady was burnt. He patted my little daughter on her head as she ran carelessly about." Clara was the little girl she was referring to.

When Clara and the rest of her family returned to their home, they found that their home had been burnt and all of the livestock taken away by the northern invaders. The family lived in a former slave cabin until the property was sold in 1869 for debt. Clara, unlike her younger siblings did not receive a formal education and grew up in poverty.

She met her husband Charles Williams, who was from northern Georgia. After their marriage, the couple moved to Washington, DC and both of therm became elevator operators. They had no children. When they retired, they moved back to northern Georgia where both lived until they died.

Clara was remembered as a small, very genteel lady by her nieces and nephews who knew her. When she died, she left a car without any wheels and a fairly large sum at the time which was distributed to her grateful heirs.
