Clara Chess Smith
Also recorded as: Clara Smith · Clara Chess · Clara Chess Smith · Smith
Named as the wife of George Smith on his 1936 Illinois death record, where her maiden surname is written "Chess" with a question mark. The Find a Grave memorial for George names her as Clara Chess Smith, 1878-1949, which is how the surname and her dates are carried here. Both readings come from the same family of records, so nothing independent yet confirms them.

Observations From the Record
The memorial names George Smith's spouse as Clara Chess Smith, 1878-1949. This supplies the surname the 1936 death record left uncertain as "Chess?", though both readings trace back to the same household rather than to two independent sources.
