Like her sister, Frances, Clara graduated from the New Hampshire Female College (in the Class of 1867) and taught for several years. Frank was a merchant in Tilton, where he and Clara moved in 1891. In Northfield, he had served the Town as Selectman in 1886-87. In Tilton, he served as Auditor, Treasurer, member of the School Board, and member of the Tilton and Northfield Library Association. He was also a Trustee of the Iona Savings Bank and a Director of the Citizen's National Bank. He and Clara attended the Methodist Church. He was also a member of the Masons (Cross, HISTORY OF NORTHFIELD, NH [op. cit.], 180). From this incomplete list of their involvements, you can see that Frank and Clara were solid citizens, who gave of their time and energy to make their communities better places in which to live.

Elbridge worked as a furniture upholsterer. In the 1920 Census of Amesbury, Massachusetts, Elbridge reports his occupation as "family genealogist."
 Think of the pain that Elbridge and Clara must have felt that week in January 1890 when 3 of their children (Louis, Wallace and George) died within six days of one other.
