Notes:

The widow Martha Clark was living with her son, George Washington Clark in Erath County, Texas at the time of the 1910 Federal Census. John W. Clark shows she is buried in Hemphill, Texas, however it appears it is in a cemetery other than the Hemphill City Cemetery, as a Martha Clark can not be found on Kay Parker McCary's transcription of that cemetery.
