Clara Beauchamp married Clement Newcomb

Clara Yetter Beauchamp was born 13 Nov 1885 in Delaware, the daughter of George N. and Kate E. (Jones) Beauchamp. She married C.C. Newcomb, the son of Charles C. and Phoebe B. (Sheppard) Newcomb. His name appeared as Charles C. in the Delaware marriage records, but the license was issued to Clem. C. and the preponderance of evidence indicates he was Clement Campbell. On 23 Mar 1910, in Wilmington DE, Clara was murdered by Charles Tindall, who shot her and then himself. According to newspaper accounts, the motive was jealousy and Clara's refusal to elope with Tindall. Clement's second wife was Carrie B. (Caulk) Anderson, whom he married in 1914.
