RADER, Clara (Camp), Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, Monday, 21
Dec 1914, p. 6: Mrs. Clara Rader Pioneer of '52 Crosses Divide -
Died, at her late residence, 105 N. Oakdale, Sunday, December
20th, Mrs. Clara Rader, born in St. Louis, Missouri, April 10th,
1835, and started for Oregon from St. Louis by way of team in
April, 1852. She arrived in Jackson County, October 1852, which
had been her home ever since.

Mrs. Rader's maiden name was Clara Ida Louise Camp and she was
married to Andrew Rader, December 12th, 1852, at Jacksonville,
Oregon. Mr. Rader, known as "Honest Jackson Rader,"was elected
representative from Jackson county in 1876 and it was while
serving in this capacity that he was suddenly taken ill with
smallpox, died and was buried before home folks knew of his
illness. 

Mrs. Rader was left with a family of small children, all of whom
are living except the oldest son, who died soon after the
father's death. The children are, Mary Pool and John Rader of
Eagle Point, Clara Phipps and Francis Garrett of Medford and
Joseph M. Rader of Phoenix, Oregon, and eight grand-children and
two great-grand-children.

The Raders first lived at what is known as the old Lore place
between Jacksonville and Central Point. Six years later they
moved out to what is known as the Rader ranch near Eagle Point,
at which place Mrs. Rader lived until July 5th, 1902, since which
time she has made her home at Jacksonville and Medford.

Funeral services will be held at the Catholic church, Tuesday,
December 22, at 9:30 a.m., Father Powers officiating. Interment
in Jacksonville cemetery.

Mrs. Rader leaves a large circle of friends in all parts of the
valley to mourn her loss.
