I am not sure this Clara (in Osage County 1900) is the same as the Clara buried in St. Louis 1976. The latter is known by family records and obituary to be the sister of Mary Otilia (sometimes Ottilla) and Margaret (who married Joseph Edward Thomas), as also seen in the grave records below.

Answer 1

She was single at the time of the 1920 US Census, the 1930 US Census and the 1940 US Census. Her age at the time the 1940 census was taken was 41 years.
