I completely agree with you-in fact I made the exact same point in another thread!

What caught my attention to the article below is the last half which mentions Clara and Henry's final resting place and the comments about Clara's dress

Thanks for the link to this article, Gene.

"In 1952, in accordance with the cemetery’s policy of unvisited graves, the couple’s bodies were exhumed and cremated."

Due to Eva's outstanding research we now know this is not true!

I cannot express how disturbed and revolted I felt when I first read this, and in fact a descendant of Clara Harris who I met online(and who frankly did not seem all that interested or informed regarding her famous ancestor told me it was true)

THANK YOU Eva, for getting to the bottom of it-no pun intended!
