I visited with Clara many times over the past few years. She talked extensively about her time in the military and her time as extension agent at Herbon, Nebraska, but she most loved talking about her time growing up in the Talmage Community.

Clara graduated from Talmage High School in 1932; and celebrated her 80th class reunion in 2012.

Clara contributed many items to the museum and was one of our avid supporters. Thank you, Clara.

Her memorial money was designated to the Talmage Museum.
