Citing this Record:
"Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-2013," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X8R5-BZT : 8 December 2014), M. W. Daniels and Clara Lightfoot, 12 Jun 1890; citing Wayne, Ohio, United States, reference 281; county courthouses, Ohio; FHL microfilm 425,758.
--------------------------------------------

One researcher, William Arthur Richards, gives the name of an additional daughter named Florence but he provides no source citations. It is doubtful that there ever was such a fourth child; the 1920 US Census shows Clara declaring that she had given birth to 3 children and all 3 were still living. The names of those 3 children are well documented and do not include the name of Florence. However, there are 8 years in between the births of her 2nd child and her 3rd child so it could be possible that there might have been another birth during those years.
