Fairmount Cemetery Marker Dedication Set

"...the first documented burial (at Fairmount Cemetery) was that of Eli Elijah Smith in 1874. He was a son of Edward and Mary Jane Smith...oral history states that Eli Elijah Smith was buried on family land that later became part of what is the present day Fairmont Cemetery. Loss of early records prevents substantiation, but it is believed that the initial parcel of property was donated by Edward CLARK."

(Research):Could he have remarried? A George Truett Clark and Barbara Jean Smith are shown on the Texas Birth Index as being the parents of Jennifer Leigh Clark (b. 1963, Nacogdoches) and George Taylor Clark (b. 1970, Jefferson County). It doesn't seem likely, however, as his 2001 obituary lists his wife as Maxine, and shows only four children.

Altoona Boy was Abord U.S.S. Portent

An Altoona youth, Seaman Frederick Thomas Smith, aged 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Smith of 1012 Third avenue, was serving aboard the U.S.S. Portent, large minesweeper, which was announced as lost in the Mediterranean by the navy department in the stock edition of the Altoona Mirror yesterday and also today's edition.

The young sailor's family was notified on the evening of Feb. 4 that he was missing in action and the announcement was published in the Altoona Mirror on Feb. 5. Since the announcement that he was missing the family has no further word from the Navy Department.

Seaman Smith held the rank of quartermaster third class and had been overseas since February, 1943. He entered the service Oct. 20, 1942, and earlier had been employed as an apprentice in the Juniata boiler shop, where his father is employed.

The U. S.S. Portent was a 700-ton craft and normally carried a crew of 100 men. Her commander, Lt. Howard C. Plummer of Beaumont, Tex., was reported to be safe. No information was given as to the number of casualities on the ship.

Q. M. 3/c Frederick T. Smith

Quartermaster Third Class Frederick Thomas Smith, aged 20, has been declared dead, after having been continued in the status of "missing in action" since the sinking of the U. S. S. minesweeper Portent int he Mediterranean area on Jan. 22, 1944, according to a letter from the navy department received yestrday by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Smith.

The Portent was sunk by an underwater explosion while patrolling off the beachhead at Anzio, Italy. Many ships and small craft were in the vicinity at the time of the explosion and quickly came to the rescue of the survivors. The navy department letter reads: "Your son was reported seen aboard the ship shortly before the explosion occured. To date no information had been received which establishes the fact that he survived the explosion. In view of the lenght of time that has elapsed and the strong probability that your son lost his life followint the explosion, the secretary of the navy has directed that his death be presumed to have occurred on Jan. 23, 1945, which is the day following the expiration of twelve months in the missing status."

The young sailor's family was notified on Feb. 4 that he was missing, the information being published in the Altoona Mirror on Feb. 5. Frederick was born on Aug. 18, 1923, at Trenton, N. J., a son of John and Rose (Kwapil) Smith and came to Altoona nineteen years ago with his parents. He was graduated from Altoona High school in the class of 1940, was keenly interested in and an expert at swimming, as well as active in the student craftsman organization at the High School.

His father, employed in the Juniata boiler shop, resides at 1118 Eleventh street, and his mother at 1012 Third avenue. A brother, Harry T. Smith, left Monday for the navy, reporting at Pittsburgh, while a sister, Rose M., a private nurse at Jefferson hospital, Philadelpia, is entering the navy nurse corps in the near future. Another sister, Marian, attendes Altoon Senior High school.

Notes:

Ivy Lee Clark, 94, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather passed from this life in the early hours of Saturday, January 30th, 2021.

He was born October 28th, 1926 in Clarktown, TX in southern Sabine County, the youngest son of Ivy Franklin Clark and Mary Jane Parker Clark. He lived most of his life in Pineland where he was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pineland.

Ivy Lee spent his entire career in the timber industry operating his own businesses over the years before retiring to become a full time Papaw in 2008 where his duties included running the grandkids and friends hang out house on Nichols St. in Pineland, the best Halloween trick-or-treat house in town, backyard pool life guard, tv remote operator, watching The Weather Channel, cartoons and game shows (Tom and Jerry, The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune were a few of his favorites), eating Blue Bell ice cream, perfecting "million dollar" paper airplanes, finding the snacks Mamaw hid from him (which aggravated her to no end), "taking some exercise" by walking laps around the house, and making sure everyday to show his family how proud and loved they are.

Ivy Lee worked hard to support and provide for his family over the years and taught his children and grandchildren through example the values of kindness, hard work, honesty, generosity, and a good sense of humor. Ivy Lee was in every sense of the words "a truly good man."
Ivy Lee is survived by his wife of 53 years Tommie Jean Clark of Hemphill; daughter, Letha June Bichrest and husband, David, of Lumberton; son, Ivy Franklin Clark and wife, Frances, of Pineland; son, Michael Shane Clark and wife, Angela (Krisi), of Hemphill; and daughter-in-law, Jeanette Clark of Pineland. He has nine grandchildren and too many to count great and great great grandchildren who will cherish his memory forever and always wonder about the stories we heard about our Papaw that he "did not recollect" with a blush when asked about. He will be fondly remembered by numerous other extended family and friends who knew him and were blessed to be part of Ivy Lee and Tommie Jean's lives over the years.

He is preceded in death by his son, Timothy Lee Clark, daughter, Sandra Kay Clark, and his first wife, Letha LaVerne Kincel Clark.

Ivy Lee's family and friends will lay him to rest under the direction of Starr Funeral Home with Pastor Jerry Gilbert officiating on Monday, February 1st, 2021 at 11am at the Mattox Cemetery near Mayflower, TX north of Burkeville, TX off Highway 87.

Pall bearers will be his grandsons Jonathan Stracener, Christopher Clark, Nicholas Clark, Ivy Jacob Clark, great grandsons Jesse Johnson Jr. and Andrew Wilson.

Honorary pallbearers great grandsons Aiden Stracener, Carter Stracener, Braeden Leonard, Robert Ivy Clark, great-great grandson Hunter Johnson, and might as well be grandsons, Cary Lowe and Tristan McCauley.

A memorial service to honor his life will be planned at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at the Hemphill Care Center for their tireless dedication and their loving care for Ivy Lee in his final years.
