Clara, mother of Franklin Lee Morris

Clara-mother of Franklin Lee Morris

We discover Clara's given name by examining this text Page 150 of "Escape from Alcatraz"  By J. Campbell Bruce.

We discover through this text, Clara is 17 years of age at Frank's birth, placing Clara at a birth year of about 1908-1909

This book describes Clara's last date anyone seen her alive, as May, 1936 and later Franklin Lee Morris tells prison officials, his parents died in the year 1936. I have placed her death between May, 1936 and 1937.

We do not have her full name, her partners name (Frank's biological father-no evidence the couple was married) We do not glean much from this book, but we gather that Clara was a runaway that refused to remain home in her youth.
