Carroll: Although my family tree does not seem to include any Sorensens, it should be noted that my grandparents, Isaac and Edith Clark, were homesteaders at High Prairie during the 1900-1910 period. My father spoke of icy winters in an unheated shack. The family eventually (1920-2001) settled in Washougal, WA, about midway between Bonneville and Vancouver. Here is a summary of my family: My great grandfather was named Benjamin Franklin Clark. He was born July 20, 1834, probably in Virginia. He married Susan Wenger (b July 7, 1846) on Feb 20, 1865, in Illinois. Their children: Edie Clark b Jan 14, 1866, Mazon, IL Henrietta Clark b Feb 5, 1867, Dresden, MO -- m R.W. Hardcastle on Mar 19, 1896 Isaac Franklin Clark b Mar 7, 1869, Dresden, MO -- m Edith Adaline Wheeler on Mar 31, 1897 -my grandparents Minnie Elizabeth Clark b Feb 16, 1877, Gardner, IL -- m Harry Woodhouse on Nov 26, 1903 Oscar Winford Clark b July 24, 1884, Gardner, IL -- m Viola Mary Hopkins on Feb 29, 1908 Oscar's children: Winford Foster Clark b Jan 3, 1910, Portland, Ore.
