Notes for Clara M. Schuster
“Clara was five years older than I and lived in New Jersey. She was married to Ray Klein (still living [in 1979]). [They] have one son Ray Jr. who is married and has children. I met Ray Sr. three years ago by Margie on Staten Is.”

“Clara was very sweet but because of awful illness in her childhood she was always fragile. She almost died from TB, pneumonia, and a bad childhood disease, all at one time. Two doctors gave he up to die. A religious man and his wife used to come into Grandma (Louise) Schusters store on Orchard Street. It was north of grandpa Meyers (Mayer) saloon, (that is my fathers’ father). His name was elder Hoffman and his wife offered to take Clara for the summer out to his farm way up north in Zion. Grandma consented. They fed Clara the best of farm foods and prayed—by the end of September [they] brought her back and she was well except for losing one lung. She lived with that until 55 years of age, and even bore a son, Ray Jr.”
