Read More	Clara was the daughter of Alois Gnam and Teresia Meiers. She married Wayne Shirley on Aug 21, 1911 at Carroll, IA. August 4, 1921 - Carroll Times - After an illness of many months duration during which time she submitted to 5 transfusions, Mrs Clara Marie Shirley, wife of Dr. Wayne Shirley, died at the Shirley home, 720 North West street, Thursday afternoon, July 28, of pernicious aenemia. She had been a resident of Carroll for many years and was known intimately by a large number of Carroll county people. Through her entire sickness she was optimistic and held out hopes of recovery until the last, never intimating to those nearest that she had any doubts as to regaining her health. Her hopefulness of spirit and patience endeared her to her many friends and made her illness easier for them to bear. Everything to stay her life was done. She was given five blood transfusions, friends willingly offering to give their blood to help her. With each transfusion her suffering was intense, yet she was anxious to undergo the ordeal and had the last transfusion on the day of her death. Mrs. Shirley was born at Oregon, Illinois, and later came with her parents to Iowa, finally locating at Carroll, where she grew to womanhood. She had lived here since, with the exception of six years which were spent in Waterloo, Ia. While in Waterloo she met and married Dr. Shirley, who was in the practice of medicine there at that time. Later they came to Carroll where they have since resided. She was the daughter of Alois Gnam and the late Mrs. Theresa Gnam. Her father, aged 90 years, survives, her. Her mother preceded her in death seven years ago. Besides her father, she leaves to mourn, her husband, Dr. Shirley; two sisters, Mrs, J.H. Powers, of Omaha, Neb., and Mrs. E.B. Rogers, of El Paso, Tex.; and four brothers, Charles Gnam, Albert Gnam, John Gnam, and Henry Gnam, all of Carroll. Funeral services were held at the St. Lawrence church in Carroll with Father Joseph Cordes officiating. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. Those present at the funeral from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Powers, of Omaha; Mrs. E.B. Rogers, of El Paso, Tex.; the doctor's brother, O.H. Shirley, a business man of Vincennes, Ind., his sister, Mrs. D.S. Rothrock, of Bloomington, Ind., who was accompanied by her husband, Prof. D.A. Hothrock, dean of the Indiana State university.
