Copied from Cordelia's Find a Grave Memorial

Cordelia Elizabeth MOSIER b Loogootee, Daviess, IN, 1st wife mar 1879 Lawrence Co AR to William David McLAIN b 1859 Lawrence Co AR. Cordelia died 1897 and in 1898, WD McLAIN married Clara COOPER b 1878 Monroe Co AR. They are my great grandparents. Clara finished raising Cordelia's 3 surviving children, but young Henry Elbert McLAIN died at age 13 and is also buried in Walnut Grove Cemetery. WD McLAIN, who served 1914-1919 as Jackson Co Judge and also managed a lumber company, and was in business with son-in-law Robert HOLDEN, died oct 1921. Clara never remarried and sometime in the 1950s, after I think a fire burned her Little Rock house, she spent time with her sons, her daughter my grandmother and with my mother & father & we 4 children in Texas. Clara died at almost 101 years of age March 1979 in Arkansas where she lived out the last few years of her life with son Alvin C McLAIN. - Audrey Stanaland
