RE: Correct Clara Harris photo
Many thanks to Steve for sending this article. Steve writes, "I have a newspaper article of the Mrs. Clara Harris who was robbed in 1911 in Chicago which has an image/sketch of the woman. It is from page one of the 19 April 1911 Chicago Examiner. Interested people can compare the newspaper image to the Clara Harris in the 1911 photograph with two children.

I checked and this Clara had two (or three) children at the time:

Orin born Dec. 1905
Charles born June 1908

A baby Agnes who was born a few months prior according to newspapers but is missing from the 1920 census, presumably deceased by then.

Newspapers incorrectly name Clara's husband as John instead of Virgil.

Here is a link to Clara's findagrave page:
