Clara Louise Maass was born on June 28, 1876 in East Orange, New Jersey, the oldest of nine children. She entered the Christina Trefz Training School for Nurses at Newark German Hospital and completed the two year program in 1895 at age nineteen.

She served in Jacksonville, Florida, Savannah, Georgia and Santiago, Cuba.
