Charles L. 19, Stephen J. 17, Minnie F. 11, Nora M. 4. John A. Clark is 47, Mary 44, all born in Indiana.
Because Charles L. and Sanders R. Clark both claimed land in the same township, they are very possible the Knox County, Indiana ones.
If anyone knows if Charles is in the 1900 census, we would appreciate some information on them.
