Her stated age in the 1900, 1920, 1930 censuses and in her obituary would indicate that Clara was born in 1873. However, she appeared on the 1870 census as a 2 year old and on the 1880 census as a 12 year old - indicating she was born in 1868.

According to Clara, her family moved from Pembroke, Washington Co., ME to Rochester, Strafford Co., NH (where she was born in 1867) . In 1869, they moved to St. Charles, Winona Co., MN.

In 1882, her father, Mariner W. Garnett, a Drayman, was killed in St Paul, MN.
