Death: Jan. 16, 1974, Seattle, King County, Washington

Parents: August Rose and Emma Klashak

Marriage: To Arthur Sobottka 29 February 1916 in Seattle, Washington. 

Newly weds Clara and Arthur moved into a small apartment above Nelson's Meat Market in Columbia City (still standing in 1997). It was during this period that their first child was born, a daughter, and Arthur left his sales position at Wallin & Nordstrom to join the Seattle Fire Department. 

The family settled a few miles south into their first house, located on Graham Street in Hillman City. They had two more children, sons, and remained there until the construction of Casper W. Sharples Junior High School which opened in 1952. Construction of the school necessitated removal of the homes on their block. 

Clara and Arthur relocated three miles south to Campbell Hill where they purchased a beautiful view property on South Fountain Street, and lived happily ever after.

Clara attended Griffen Business College in Seattle, and worked for many years at Rhodes Department Store in downtown Seattle.
