Married5634 1872 Nov 125634.

Donermeyer797 has Clara's death date Mar 29, 1925 (source not indicated). Her obituary5634 is preferred as it was likely written by her husband, Frank McGowan.

The obituary5556 for Frank McGowan, which mentions his marriage to Clara Ketchum, and also mentions surviving step-son, Harry E Ketchum, implying that Ketchum was not Clara's maiden name. McGowan5616 lists Frank's spouse as "Clara (Ellis) Ketchum." That is corroborated by the marriage license1728 of son Harry Ketcham to Harry's second wife. The license application lists Harry's parents as "G W Ketcham" and "Clara Ellas."
