Clark Stable

Frederick Theodore Clark, born in 1843, owned the livery stable in Quasqueton. He was the grandfather of Raymond Clark, shown in front of the stable with a toy wagon. The Clark Livery Stable was run by Raymond's father Frank (Joe) Clark who was born in 1873. The livery stable was located one block east of the main street in Quasqueton and still stands today (2000). The Clark family operated the Clark Livery Stable until the popularity of the automobile made the livery business obsolete. The Clark family still has the ledger where the records were kept.
