101 - Clara Korach (Matson) - Carr Lane, MO USA - Headstones of Centenarians on Waymarking.com

Clara Matson lived over 101 years from 19 January 1914 to 16 September 2015. But if you look for a Clara Matson headstone, you won't find it. The real story can be found by reading the Barry County Rootsweb page for this cemetery; where we find that Clara M. Osana was first married to Joe L. Korach (1913 to 1987) in June of 1937.

Clara, who seemed to be unlucky in one way, lost Joe after 50 years of marriage, then remarried to a Alvin Voges (1898-1988), who had lost his wife in 1984, but then who passed away only a short time later in 1988. Clara, who was now 74 and widowed a second time, married Arnold Matson in November 2004 in Shell Knob, when she was 90 years old. Apparently Arnold Matson survived Clara when she passed away in 2015, since there is no burial record for him in the United States.

Clara is buried with her first husband, Joe L. Korach, at McGuire Cemetery in rural Barry County.
