I have found a bit on my sweetie's ancestor, Iretta Margaret CLARK, so I thought I'd put the query out again, and see if the extra info can help anyone to identify her line. Census for 1900 Farber village, Cuivre Twp, Audrain co, Missouri shows these two families, not together: James CLARK 44 IL IL IL Susie C CLARK 16 MO IL MO Ireteta M CLARK 12 MO IL MO Edmund BAILEY Sept 1875 England England Ireland Alva BAILEY Jul 1880 MO ?? ?? [Iretta's sister Alvah CLARK] Census for 1920 Buffalo, Louisiana, Pike co, Missouri shows two families next-door to each other: Carroll BECK Head 34 IA IA IA Employee, Brush [?] for Government Iretta BECK Wife 31 MO OH IN [Iretta Margaret CLARK] Ethel BECK Dau 11 MO IA MO Clara BECK Dau 7 MO IA MO Elaine BECK Dau 1 MO IA MO [this is Eileen, not Elaine] Malcom TALBERT Head 39 IL VA NY Laborer at Saw Mill Sarah TALBERT Wife 41 MO OH IN [Iretta's sister Sarah CLARK] Fred TALBERT Son 16 IL IL IL Laborer at Saw Mill Earnest TALBERT Son 13 IL IL IL Laborer at Saw Mill Victor A PAGE Step Son 22 MO MO MO Wood Chopper, Timber Looks like Victor is a son of Sarah CLARK by a 1st marriage by ______ PAGE? Also looks like Fred and Earnest are not Sarah's sons, so 2nd marriage for both parents? I have not been able to find Iretta's brother David CLARK, nor her sister Beulah CLARK, and she may have had other siblings. Anyone related to these CLARKs, or can anyone point me in the direction of a clue? <g> Thanks for any assistance! Alie Jo
