Sarah Lillian “Lillian” (26 Sep 1900-6 May 1992) — m. Charles Wherritt Ritz on 3 Oct 1920
Spencer was born in Kent County, Michigan, the second of three children of Jacob Clark from New Brunswick and Sarah Isabelle Pine of Oxford County, Ontario. In late 1856 and early 1857, his parents moved to Fulton County in northeastern Arkansas, where his father bought land and started a farm in an area that later became part of Izard County.
Mary was the daughter of Henry Louis Roberts of Monroe County, Tennessee and Martha Susan Armstrong from Marion County, Alabama. There’s a report that she was born in Monroe County, but I’m pretty sure it was really in Arkansas. Her parents, who moved several times, married in Lawrence County, Arkansas and lived in Richwoods Township – the one near Ash Flat, the future county seat of Sharp County.
Spencer’s father died of tuberculosis in October 1857. A year later, his mother remarried to Archibald Burris “Archie” Estes. They moved from the Clark farm to Richwoods Township near Ash Flat, the same area where Mary and her parents lived.
When his mother and stepfather headed west on the Oregon Trail in probably 1874, Spencer’s older sister Olive and all of his half-siblings went too, but Spencer stayed in Arkansas. He married Mary on 25 Feb 1875.
In the 1880 census, Spencer (23) and Mary (23) were living with children William (4) and Dora (2) in Richwoods Township, Sharp County. Spencer was a blacksmith. He was also a Freemason and a member of the Church of Christ.
By 1900, they were living in Hardy Township, Sharp County, with children Emma (18), Pheba (15), Luther (11), Flora (9), and Eva (5). Mary would have been pregnant with Lillian at the time. Spencer seems to have inherited his grandfather Calvin Pine’s propensity for siring mostly daughters.
In 1902 they moved to Black Rock, Lawrence County, where Mary died in 1909. The 1910 census showed Spencer living in Black Rock with daughters Phoeba A. (26), Flora M. (19), Eva (15), and Sarah L. (9), plus son Luther (21) and Luther’s new wife Aurora (20).
In 1920, Spencer was living with daughter Flora and her husband Thomas Bryant in Black Rock. On 9 Oct 1921, Spencer married Mary Richardson Jackson (24 Nov 1880-5 Aug 1944), a widow with five children.
Spencer and Mary moved to Hardy, where they were living in 1935. By the 1940 census, Spencer (83) and Mary (69) were living in Jonesboro, Craighead County.
After Mary died in 1944, Spencer went to live with son Luther in Black Rock. He had by then gone blind, and found his way to the outhouse by means of a rope strung between it and the house. In November 1945, Spencer moved to Edinburg, Texas to live with son William and also near daughter Emma. He died there the following year. He’s buried with both wives in Oak Forest Cemetery, Black Rock, Arkansas.
William was a blacksmith, cabinet-maker, and merchant. He married Celia Pickens (19 Feb 1877-12 Oct 1954) on 29 Nov 1897 in Sharp County, AR. The wedding was reported in the 3 Dec 1897 issue of the Sharp County Record. They had two children:
Hubert Aldean (19 Sep 1898-2 Mar 1963) — m. Willie Murtha Harris on 28 Jan 1920
Miriam C. (26 Mar 1905-3 Oct 1981) — m. William Elmer Newcomb on 14 Jul 1928; divorced; m. George Lex McAlister on 28 Dec 1946
The 1910 census found William and Celia in Piney Fork, Arkansas, with son Hubert A. (age 11), daughter Miriam L. (age 5), and “servant” Melvin Clark, age 24, relation (if any) unknown. In 1920, they were living in Bird, Jackson County, Arkansas, with Hubert (21) and Miriam (14). In 1930, they were in Harrison, Boone County, Arkansas, with daughter Miriam still at home and son Hubert and family in the same town.
By 1940, they were in Justice Precinct 6 of Hidalgo County, Texas, where William was proprietor of a service station. This is the area where William’s sister Emma had moved in the 1920s. William’s widowed father Spencer lived with him from late 1945 until Spencer’s death in 1946. Celia died in 1954, and William died in Corpus Christi in 1962. They’re buried in the Valley Memorial Gardens, McAllen, Hidalgo County, Texas.
Dora died at age 5. She’s reportedly buried in the cemetery in Evening Shade, but I haven’t confirmed that.
Emma married sister-in-law Celia’s younger brother Arthur Lee Pickens (4 Dec 1880-6 Jun 1935) in 1907. They reportedly had five children, but I can verify just three:
Lois Clark (28 Jan 1909-21 Apr 1922)
Thomas Spencer (2 Dec 1910-7 Dec 1968) — m. Ludie Woods
John Dudley, Sr. (~1913-?1988?) — m. Edna Earle Crowder in 193x
In 1920 they were in Lawrence County. In the 1920s they moved to Edinburg, Hidalgo County, Texas. Emma’s brother William and his family later moved to the same town. Arthur died in 1935, and is buried in Lawrence Memorial Cemetery back in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. The 1940 census showed Emma, alone, in Edinburg. She remained there near son Thomas until her death in 1966, and is buried with Arthur.
Phoeba Ann in 1910 married Howard Franklin “Harry” Lake (11 Aug 1889-8 Apr 1968), who was born in Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana, but whose family moved to Black Rock before 1900. Harry and Phoeba moved to Elkhart County, Indiana by 1912. Harry was a carpenter. They had two children:
Vivian Louise (5 Aug 1911-5 Dec 1995) — m. Evan Waters “Bud” George, Jr. in 193x
Velma Wanetta (28 Jun 1914-4 Jan 1998) — m. Bertram C. Sutton in 193x
They were still in Indiana in 1920. In 1930, they were in Austin, Texas. In 1940, they were in San Diego, sharing a house with daughter Vivian and her husband Evan George. Harry registered for the draft in 1917, and again in 1942 when the couple were living at 3716 Fairmount Avenue (which today is a park), San Diego. When Harry died in 1968, their residence was 4501 Olive Avenue, La Mesa. Phoeba died in 1973. She and Harry were cremated. There are memorial markers for them in El Camino Memorial Park north of San Diego, California.
From the 11 Apr 1968 edition of the San Diego Union, provided by findagrave.com contributor Jerry Huffman:
“Howard F. Lake -- Masonic services will be at 4 p.m. today in Featheringill College Center Chapel for Howard F. Lake, 78, of 4501 Olive Ave., La Mesa, who died Monday in a rest home. A retired carpenter, Lake was born in Indiana and lived 38 years in this area. Lake is survived by his widow, Phoebe; two daughters, Mrs. Vivian George of La Mesa and Mrs. Bert Sutton of San Diego, and two grandchildren.”
Luther has his own entry in the family tree.
Flora Mae married Thomas Auder Bryant (26 Sep 1887-26 May 1932) on 3 Jun 1911. They settled in Black Rock, and had four children:
Lillian Bernice (5 May 1912-2 Feb 2004) — m. Grayson Simpson in 193x
Charles W. (~1915-????)
Audria May (3 Oct 1919-9 May 2009) — m. Albert Howe
Mary Alice (23 Jul 1922-18 Aug 1999) — m. Gerald Virgil Parks on 21 Nov 1952
Flora worked as a seamstress and telephone operator. She remained in Black Rock after Thomas committed suicide in 1932. He’s buried in his parents’s lot in Pine Hill Cemetery, Jonesboro, with no tombstone. The 1940 census showed Flora and the three younger children in Black Rock. Flora died in 1988 in Alexandria, Louisiana, and is buried in Oak Forest Cemetery, Black Rock.
Eva, pronounced eh-va, not ay-va or ee-va, married Harry Alva Grove (6 Dec 1886-3 Jun 1973) from Indiana on 30 Jun 1915 in Black Rock. Harry was a chief petty office (CPO) in the Navy, serving in both world wars. In 1920, they were stationed at the Fort Lyon Naval Sanitorium in Bent County, Colorado. They later settled in San Diego, California, where they were joined by Eva’s sisters Phoeba and Lillian and their husbands. They had one child:
Anita F. (16 May 1917-25 Jan 1986) — m. Leland B. “Lee” Johnson
Harry died in 1973, the same year as Eva’s sister Phoeba. Harry is buried in Green Hills Memorial Park, Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles County. At age 99, Eva moved to Argentina to live with a grandson, Bruce Johnson. She didn’t like it, so at age 101 she returned to the US, and went into a nursing home in Walnut Ridge. She died in 1998 and is buried in Oak Forest Cemetery, Black Rock.
Another grandson, Philip Harry Johnson (24 Oct 1946-2 Feb 1967), was killed in Vietnam while serving as crew chief aboard an Army medevac helicopter.
Lillian married US Navy WWI veteran Charles Wherritt Ritz (26 May 1890-26 Jan 1980) from Neosho County, Kansas, in 1920. For some unknown reason, the wedding was in Shelby County, Tennessee. The 1920 census had showed Charles, single and in the Navy, stationed in San Diego, so the couple probably met through Sarah’s older sister Eva, who had also married a Navy man and who later moved to San Diego.
The 1930 census showed Lillian and Charles in San Diego. They remained there. Charles was a mechanic, and Lillian worked for the state as a stenographer. They had no children. They’re buried together as Charles and Lillian Ritz in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, San Diego.
William’s son Hubert obtained a license to marry Willie Murtha Harris (6 Apr 1901-7 Jan 2000) on 28 Jan 1920 in Butler, Missouri, which is south of Kansas City. She was from Puxico, Stoddard County, Missouri, hundreds of miles east of Butler, daughter of John Harris and Jennie Wolf. They settled in Arkansas, where the twins were born. They had three children:
Billy Joe “B.J.” (15 Oct 1920-17 Sep 2011) — m. Elsie Mae Jones on 12 Dec 1942; m. Bettye Eckstein Endicott
Virginia Alice (15 Oct 1920-14 Jan 2012) — m. David Hamblin Smith on 6 Jun 1941
Arthur Paul (~1928-before 2012)
Son Paul was born in Illinois. By 1930, though, they were back in Arkansas, living in Harrison, Boone County where Hubert’s parents and sister were. They joined Hubert’s parents in moving to Edinburg, Hidalgo County, Texas in 1934. The 1940 census showed the family there. By 1950, they were living in Miami, Florida, where Hubert worked for an airline, and the kids had moved out. Hubert died in Miami in 1963. Murtha died in 2000 back in Edinburg. They’re buried in Edinburg, but I don’t know where.
Their son B.J. is buried in Overton County Memorial Gardens, Livingston, Tennessee, and daughter Virginia is buried in Hillcrest Memorial Park, Edinburg. Don’t know about son Arthur; the Arthur P. Clark (1928-1996) buried in Austin was someone else.
William’s daughter Miriam married William Elmer Newcomb (24 Nov 1902-24 Aug 1973) in Indiana in 1928. The marriage didn’t last; by the 1930 census, she was back with her parents in Harrison, Boone County, Arkansas. By 1940, she was sharing a place with another woman in Little Rock, Arkansas.
In 1946, she married WWI veteran George Lex McAlister (29 Sep 1895-27 Jul 1959) in Monterrey, Mexico. They remained in Harrison. George died in 1959. In 1968, Miriam was living in Lead Hill, Boone County, which I know because she attended the funeral of Aurora Corbet Clark, her aunt by marriage. Miriam died in 1981, and is buried with George in Maplewood Cemetery, Harrison, Boone County.
Emma’s son Thomas married Ludie Woods (13 Mar 1911-5 Aug 1994). They had two children I know of:
Dorris Jeanne (22 Jul 1944-18 Oct 2011) — m. Glynn Knight on 31 Jul 1971
Dorothy Lou (24 Oct 1946-????)
They remained in Edinburg, Hidalgo County, Texas. They’re buried in Hillcrest Memorial Park there.
Emma’s son John married Edna Earle Crowder (17 Feb 1912-14 Jul 1998) from Grayson County, Kentucky, daughter of Peter Crowder (1862-1954) and Sarah Frances “Fannie” Sasley (1871-1948), in the 1930s. They had two children:
John Dudley, Jr. (16 Feb 1935-7 Sep 2012) — m. ???
Spencer Lee (9 Jul 1943) — poss. m. Carol Lynn White
At the time their son John Jr. was born, John Sr. was a student at the Texas A&M campus in Kingsville, Kleberg County, Texas. The 1940 census showed the family in Edcouch, Hidalgo County, Texas. They were still there in 1943.
It appears they later moved to Colorado. A John D. Pickens of the right age and Texas background died in July 1988 in Colorado, and there are indications John’s widow lived in Colorado in the 1990s before dying in Texas in 1998, but details are lacking. Son John, Jr. lived and worked in the area of Boulder, Colorado.
Phoeba Ann’s daughter Vivian was born in Indiana. Her parents moved the family to Austin, Texas in the 1920s, and to San Diego, California in the 1930s, where she married Evan Waters “Bud” George, Jr. (20 Mar 1912-4 Dec 1965) from Pennsylvania. They had no children. In the 1940 census, they were living with Vivian’s parents in San Diego. They later lived in La Mesa, California.
Vivian and her sister Velma had some sort of falling out and didn’t speak for many years. Vivian died in 1995 in San Diego, 30 years after Bud. I don’t know where she’s buried.
Phoeba Ann’s daughter Velma married Bertram Cecil Sutton (23 Feb 1912-31 Jul 1985). Bert was born in Kansas as Bertram Lozon; according to his daughter, his parents were French immigrants who worked as vaudeville performers. However, her paternal cousin claimed the parents were Frederick Joseph Lozone (1878-3 Mar 1920) from New York and Florence Edna Shaw from Kansas. Frederick did have French Canadian parents, which probably explains the French connection. After they died, which Jody thought was in a car crash up in Canada (but a 1920 death record from Los Angeles says Frederick died of terminal myocarditis), Bert was adopted by his paternal aunt Azilda Lozon Sutton (1872-1957) and her husband Bertram Sutton, and took their surname. In 1930, age 18, he was boarding with a family in San Diego. Velma and her family were still in Austin, Texas that year. The Lakes must have moved to San Diego in or soon after 1930, since Velma married Bert there in the early 1930s. They had two children:
Mary Jo “Jody” (24 May 1935-7 Jun 2016) — m. ??? Maul; divorced in 1978
Clark Lozon (25 Apr 1937-12 Jan 1998)
The 1940 and 1950 censuses showed them in San Diego with both kids. Bert was a salesman for a metal supply company. By the time their daughter graduated high school in 1953, they were living in Brawley, in the desert an hour or so east of San Diego. Bert died in 1985, and Velma in 1998. I don’t know where they’re buried.
Mary Jo, who began going by Jody in college, worked for TWA at Los Angeles International Airport from 1958 to 1991. She was married for a time, but had no children. After her divorce in 1978, she legally changed her name to Jody Lozon, and developed an interest in photography that grew into a part-time career. Between 1979 and 1981, she revived and ran a co-op artist’s gallery called Cameravision Gallery in the basement of the Los Altos Building on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. She also had her own photography business, Gemini Images. Some of her work appeared in magazines and was exhibited in galleries. She was in touch with Chester Clark, her first cousin once removed in Mississippi, who took an interest in family history and had visited the California relatives.
Clark L. Sutton, who never married, died in 1998, and Jody in 2016. Jody’s remains are interred in Forest Lawn Covina Hills Cemetery, Covina, California.
Flora’s daughter Bernice married Grayson Simpson (3 Oct 1911-30 Nov 1993) in the 1930s. The 1940 census showed her working as an attendant at a state hospital in Little Rock. She and Grayson had two children:
Charles Grayson (1945)
Kay C. (1950)
Bernice died in 2004. She’s buried with Grayson in Oaklawn Cemetery, Batesville, Independence County, Arkansas.
Flora’s daughter Audria married Albert W. Howe (24 Mar 1915-20 May 1975) sometime after 1940. I don’t know whether they had children. He served in the US Air Force in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, retiring at the rank of Senior Master Sergeant. Audria died in 2009 and is buried with Albert in Alexandria National Cemetery, Pineville, Rapides Parish, Louisiana.
Flora’s daughter Mary married Gerald Virgil Parks (18 Dec 1926-26 Sep 2016) of Springdale, Washington County, Arkansas in 1952. They had three children:
Jerri () — m. ??? Derlikowski
Doug () — m. Sue ???
Tom ()
Mary died in 1999, and is buried in Friendship Cemetery, Springdale. Gerald died in 2016 and is buried with her.
Eva’s daughter Anita was born in California, and remained there. She married California-born Leland B. “Lee” Johnson (4 Apr 1908-20 Feb 1980), date unknown. They had three children, but I’ve seen names for just two:
Bruce Leland (30 May 1944)
Philip Harry (24 Oct 1946-2 Feb 1967)
Lee died in 1980, and Anita in 1986. They are buried in Green Hills Memorial Park, Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles County, the same place as their son Philip, who was killed in action in Vietnam, and Anita’s father Harry Grove. Anita’s mother Eva outlived them by an impressive margin.
