Friday's Photo: Isaac Clark

Isaac Clark

Al and Marguerite married in 1935. 
Al lived in Ringgold for over 50 years.[5]

Isaac "Ike" Clark, born in Missouri in about 1880, was the father of Albert "Al" Clark, the husband of Marguerite Cook Clark. This is a copy of a tintype found in Marguerite Cook Clark's collection.[1] 

Very little is known about Isaac Clark. He married Mary Helen Mansker in Lincoln County, Oklahoma on 23 August 1902.[2] 

In 1910, Isaac and Mary were renting a home in Sans Bois in Haskell County, Oklahoma where Isaac was the owner of a livery stable. They had three boys, Charley, Tom, and two-year-old Albert.[3] Another son, Bill, was born in 1911. Isaac died when Al was about 7 years old and Mary married David Harris.[4]
