Comfort -
There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night
And grief may bide an evening quest
But joy shall come with morning light
For God hath marked each sorrowing day
And numbered every secret tear
An Heaven's long age of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here.

* [Considering the possible 1902 or 1903 dates of birth against the June 14-16 enumeration date for the 1911 census, this further supports July 29, 1903 as the date of birth as Clara's age was given as "7" in the census and would be correct using the 1903 date.]

Hi again Mike.
I looked at the copy of my grandmother's birth registration. I shows her name as Clara Liota Tait, born 1903, crossed out and 1902 put there. I feel it is safe to assume her birth year as 1902 * as it is most likely a clerical error.
About Nettie Hough, I found this insert for her Nettie (Mary Janette) (Houck) Hough born between December 10, 1863-1865 in Ontario.
