Do you know of Mount Clara ???

Our sources for Mount Clara (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Mount Clara other than they indicate that Mount Clara would be found somewhere in Lee County, Iowa.
