She was born July 18, 1915, on the farm at Richmond, Kansas, the daughter of Joseph and Jane (Strobel) Setter. Clara was born first, weighing two and a half pounds, followed by the surprise of another baby, Ann who weighed only two pounds. Twins were very unusual, and their mother kept Clara and Ann in a shoe box to keep them warm. If it were not already summer, the twins would not have survived.

Peine; one daughter, Jane Dorothy Davis; one grandson, Marvin Lee Davis; six sisters, Elizabeth Setter; Mary Platt; Katherine Hess; Cecelia Rubick; and Helen Lutz, and Ann Dyrdek; three brothers, Bernard Setter; Mike Setter and Anthony "Tony" Setter.
