Daughter of Charles Clairmont, known as Mina. She was tubercular and Charles had bought a country cottage at Weidling to provide her with pure air. It didn't help her and she died when she was only 15 years old. Until the end she had no idea that she was dying and Charles hadn't let a priest come near to her to 'contaminate her last moments'.
