  Clara apparently had 3 children in her first 8 years with Fred Copeland, but none survived. She is living on Michaeltorina St. in Los Angeles in 1920 with her son, Bert, and her nephew John P. Lee. They live in Calabasas in 1930. Bert Stokes lists Clara’s birth year as 1871 and her birthplace as Lone Pine, California. [6]
