CLARENCE
In 1900 Hand County South Dakota, Clarence, born July 1876 in Iowa, is with
parents Almon and Sarah.
Clarence was a witness for the land claim in 2, 3N 47W of William Kill in
1908.
He's in Magee precinct, Yuma County in 1910, 33, married to Mable I. 29, with
Ralph L. 4 and Glynn A. 2.
1910 "Walter Carr, Owen Edwards and George Waters were among the Pleasant
Valley visitors in Yuma this week."
1910 - South of Yuma items "F.M. Carr is building a new house."
This is probably not a relative - he was Francis M. Carr, born about 1857 in
Wisconsin, father Canadian, in Yuma County in 1910, married but living alone.
In 1920 he's in Yuma, on Weld Avenue, and the widow Cora Ford, 33 and her
three kids are roomers with him.
1911 Yuma Pioneer "C.W. Carr, of the Waverly district, was a pleasant caller
at this office Monday."
August 1911 
Maybe Francis DUNKIN, and William MATHIESEN
Clarence proved up on a quarter in 33, 4N 47W in 1912, witnesses Robert G.
Eyestone, Ernest T. Clark, Alfred Itten ,and William J. Lockard.
Clarence Walter Carr registered in Phillips County, Colorado with an address
of Wages Route, Holyoke, Colorado (so he lived southwest of Holyoke), born July
19, 1876. This is about twenty miles from his Yuma County claim.
In 1920 Phillips County, Clarence and Mabel have Ralph 13, Glen A. 11,
Flossie M. 9, Laurel V. 7, Waldo A. 5, and Oliver K. 3.
| John R. and Fannie Clark's daughter Nellie was the first teacher at
the Seventy-day Adventist boarding school near Vancouver Washington.
The first pastor was J.J. Clark, their son. In 1880 Lancaster
County, Nebraska, Chas. 41 and Melinda S. 38 Roberts have Laura 15,
Olive 11, Pearl 4, and Elma five months. Melinda's mother Laura
Hall, 59, is also with them. They had been in Boone County, Nebraska
in 1880. John and Fanny had Fanny S. 12, John J. 10, Thomas E. (Ernest)
8, Elen M. (Nellie) 5, Alfred W. 3, and Sarah M. 1.
Pearl E. Roberts born Aug 1876 in Nebraska, is in Lancaster County,
Nebraska, with parents Charles 61 and Melinda 57, and sister Alma M. 20.
Ernest married Pearl S. Roberts, daughter of Charles Roberts and
Malinda Sophia Hall, on 4 Dec 1901 in College View, Lincoln,
Lancaster County, Nebraska. (Pearl S. Roberts was born on 8 Aug 1876
in College View, Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska and died on 12
Jul 1921 in Haxtun, Phillips County, Colorado.) On the same census
page as the Carr family in 1920 Phillips County is the Earnest and
Pearl Clark family. They were also in north Yuma County in
1910, Earnest 36, born in Iowa, Pearl 32 Nebraska., Nellie 7
Nebraska, Robert 1 Colorado, and Viola three months.
Earnest Clark was a witness for the claim of George E. Waters for
a quarter in 1, 3N 47W. Other witnesses were Frank Woodward
(my great-uncle who claimed a mile east) Andrew Carper (in the same
section, Frank's father-in-law), and Charles Hersh.
1910 Waverly items "They say the men are going to wear clothing
to match their hair this winter i- that will be hard on Ernest
Clark, won't it."
1911 Waverly "The firm of Clark-Mathiesen and Carr have their
spring work almost completed." The relation appears based on
Seventh-day Adventist membership.
Ernest proved up on a quarter in 1, 3N 47W in 1912. In 1920 they have Nellie and Robert, "Iola" M. 9, and Charles N. 6.
Pearl Clark 1876-1921 is buried in Haxtun, Phillips County #
129294081 - so is Earnest 1872-1926.
In 1930 Clark County Washington, Nellie 27 "aunt", Robert 21,
Viola, 19, Neal 16, Wallace 9, are living with aunt Myrtle Atkins,
50, born in Nebraska.
Robert W., Viola M. , and Wallace J. Clark, siblings, are living

County, Washington in 1935.
