Note: Buried in Lot Old.P.210, with no gravestone. A brother, Johnnie, was noted in an Evergreen Cemetery burials listing done in the early 1990s as born in 1870 and died the same day as Maggie, November 23, 1871. However, there is no mention of Johnnie's death along with Maggie's in the paper. Parents William and Mary married in January, 1867, so Maggie was their first child. A search of the newspaper archives from 1868 to 1885 did not turn up a mention of another child of William CLARK. Johnnie has no gravestone, and at this point his dates remain a mystery.
