Clara Healey (1848-1923)

Clara Healey

Clara Healey was born 5 January 1848 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Her parents were Sylvester Forbes Healey and Rosa Hall.  Her tombstone gives her birth year as 1846.

About 1854, when Clara was about 6 years old, her family moved from Canada to Indiana.  They are found in Logansport, Cass Co., Indiana on the 1860 census and in Rensselaer, Jasper Co., Indiana on the 1870 census.

Clara married Madison Makeever on 31 December 1872 in Rensselaer.  They had six children:  two sons whose names I don't have, and daughters, Bessie, Blanche, Rosa Bell, and Jessie.  Madison died in September 1885.

Clara then married William S. Coen in Rensselaer on 1 September 1886.  I know of two children: Emerson and Alice.  William died in 1916.
