Clara M. Wolle
Clara M. Wolle (b. King) (c. 1855-?) was born in Jefferson Township,
Iowa, and died in an unknown location. In 1875 she married John V. Evans, a lawyer, in
Logan, Iowa, and worked there first as a schoolteacher and then in the millinery
business. In 1886, she studied Christian Science with Jennie B. Fenn, a student of Mary
Baker Eddy, and completed the Normal class with Eddy in February 1887. Around that time,
she divorced Evans and relocated first to Frewsburg, New York, where she began teaching
and practicing Christian Science, and then to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1890 she
married Clarence A. Wolle, a real estate broker, in Lancaster, and they subsequently
settled in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She was listed as a practitioner and teacher of
Christian Science in The Christian Science Journal from 1887 to
1890 and again from 1904 to 1926. She joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Massachusetts, on November 3, 1903, became a member of the General Association
of Teachers in 1903, and served as First Reader of First Church of Christ, Scientist,
Bethlehem, from 1905 to 1909. In about 1925, Wolle relocated to Plainfield, New Jersey,
and after her husband's passing in 1927, she went to live with her daughter in
