Please
meet Great Granduncle Franklin Emerson Clark. Uncle Frank was my Great
Grandmother’s brother and a son of Jeremiah B. and Harriet C. (Ogden)
Clark.
Frank E. Clark
born April 27, 1871
Denton, Orange Co.,
NY
This
photograph was taken in Paterson, New Jersey when he was a young man. Uncle
Frank married his 1st wife, Fannie Smith, in Paterson Nov. 25, 1891.
Uncle Frank, Aunt
Fannie & Ethel
Ethel Mae Clark
Their
daughter, Ethel Mae, was born a few years later on Sept. 27, 1893. Adorable!
Uncle
Frank looks like a contented man. It probably wasn’t long until Uncle Frank
lost Aunt Fannie. She died April 6, 1907 in Paterson (34 years old).
After
Aunt Fannie’s death, Uncle Frank returned to Orange County, NY residing in
Middletown for many years. He would marry two more times. Ethel married Max
Beratz Feb. 26, 1920 in a ceremony at her father’s house. She became a mother
to Louisa, Max’s child from a deceased wife. They lived in Newark, NJ.
Note:
These photographs belonged to my Great Great Grandparents, Harriet C. Ogden and
Jeremiah B. Clark.
