Obituary
Clara Blakemore, oldest child of W. [yatt [D. [eKalb] and Mary [Flick] Blakemore, was born on the Blakemore farm near Platteville, Iowa, Oct. 12, 1869. There she resided until the spring of 1892 when she moved with her parents to Blockton, Iowa, later she moved to Bedford, Iowa, which remained her home until September, 1920, when, due to failing health she came to make her home with her sister, Mrs. N.

She attended the public schools and Highland Park College, being a member of the first class to enter the college after its opening, and taught school until her health failed and it was necessary for her to give up a profession she had planned to make her life work.
