Clark Family Cemetery

Newlyweds Joseph Hutchinson Clark (1857-1901) and Annie Susie Wilson (1869-1953) bought this land from Annie's father on April 2, 1887. On Christmas Eve, 1901, Joseph was killed in a wagon accident on a curve between here and Reagan Wells. According to family oral history, he had recently told his daugher of his wish to be buried at this site. In 1905, Annie married Joseph's brother, David Gaston Clark (1864-1943). He was killed in an accident on the same curve where his brother died nearly five decades earlier. Annie was laid to rest between her two husbands. They share this burial ground with other members of the Clark family. Historic Texas Cemetery-2001
