- According to court records, because of "willful desertion", Clara left Hiram and moved in with a man, Neal McCracken, in Buffalo, NY. She was ordered to appear in court in Muskegon, MI to answer the charges brought by Hiram but never appeared and so the divorce was granted on 24th Apr 1900 in Michigan circuit court.
