She was the superintendent of music first for Oakland public schools and then in 1920 went to Colorado Springs to do the same there. She resigned because she only wanted to teach grade school music, not high school.

It looks like James died about 1909 in Colorado Springs.
Electa was in Alameda County in 1914 and lived with Clara.
She was the daughter of George Lester and Roxana Palmer Hoisington, both from VT. Roxana died in 1870 of typhoid fever.

According to a tree on Ancestry.com, James was b in Knox Cty OH, son of Isaac and Margaret Packer Hoffmire
Sorvelta Morse, who seems to be a foster daughter, married a son of Ezra Comfort, and the three of them, along with some others, went to Topolobamo, Sinaloa, Mexico to start a colony sometime before 1891. They were Spiritualists. The husband of Sorvelta became ill and they travelled back to Delphos, Ottawa Cty, KS so that the son could die and be buried in the US. By that time the Hoffmires were in Colorado, and they are referred to as parents of Sorvelta.
