Richman, Clara Irene Gochenour (1900-1995)
Description
Photograph of Clara I. (Gochenour) Richman as a young woman.
Clara was the daughter of Calvin (1869-1940) and Alice Bell (Windle) (1874-1954) Gochenour. She grew up in a farming family with at least a dozen siblings.
Clara married Stanley Alden Richman (1901-1976) in Toms Brook in October 1923. Stanley was a farmer and the son of Isaac Milton and Mary Catherine (Sager) Richman, from West Virginia.
The 1930 census found the family living on Back Road near St. Luke. Clara and Stanley raised at least three children over the next several decades. They were Alden G., Blanche M., and Margetta.
Stanley died as the result of an accident when he was in his seventies. His pants caught fire while he was burning tree stumps at his home in Strasburg. Second and third-degree burns affected 47% of his body and led to septicemia and pneumonia. He did not recover.
Clara lived a long life. Her last residence was on Junction Road in Strasburg before moving to the Lantzers Home for Adults in Middletown, where she died.
