Clara H. Bradner (b. Harwood) (1855-1956) was born in Dowagiac, Michigan, and died in Sacramento, California. Her family moved to Sacramento in the early 1870s and she married Ernest H. Bradner, a schoolteacher, there in 1879. The Bradners were students of Minnie B. Hall DeSoto, John P. Filbert and Julia Field-King. Although they expressed an interest in studying with Mary Baker Eddy, there is no record of them doing so. They joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on September 30, 1893, and they were both listed in the directory of The Christian Science Journal as Christian Science practitioners in California until their deaths.
