This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography: Bark, Ross, Bradley, Rigby, Brown, Corwin, WILLIAM BARK is assistant general superintendent of the National Tube Company, at Gary, Indiana. This position defines him, as one of the important men in this great industrial center of Northern Indiana. Mr. Bark is a native of Scotland, but came to America when a youth and for forty years has been steadily working toward increased proficiency and ability. He was born in Scotland, March 16, 1867, son of Abraham and Janet (Ross) Bark. His parents spent all their lives in Scotland, where they were educated in the common schools. His father was a lighthouse keeper far many years, located at Strauraer, Scotland. He died at the age of seventy-five and his wife at eighty-four. William Bark was the eleventh in a family of twelve children. After attending public schools he spent four years with the R. A. Hanna Milling Company, learning the flour milling business, and this was his first occupation when coming to America in 1887. He was connected with flourmills at York, Pennsylvania, for three years. At Middletown, Pennsylvania, he had his first active connection with the iron and steel business, spending sixteen years as an employee of the American Tube & Iron Company. During the last ten years of that time he was a foreman in the butt-welding mills. In 1904 he transferred his services to the Reading Coal & Iron Company of Reading, Pennsylvania, becoming general foreman in the tube works, and in May, 1905, went with the National Tube Company in its plant at Lorain, Ohio. He remained there for nineteen years, as superintendent of the butt welding and galvanizing departments. Mr. Bark in 1928 was transferred to the National Tube Company’s plant at Gary, Indiana, becoming superintendent of the pipe mills, and in January, 1929, was promoted to assistant general superintendent of the works, the office he now holds. His home is at 600 Pierce Street in Gary. Mr. Bark is a member of the Commercial Club and Chamber of Commerce, Gary Country Club, and is a very popular figure in industrial and social affairs. He is a Republican and a member of the First Presbyterian Church. At Middletown, Pennsylvania, June 15, 1891, he married Miss Matilda Bradley, daughter of John T. and Lea (Rigby) Bradley. Her father was a native of England and though he came to America and lived in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, for many years he never renounced his British citizenship. He died in 1914 and his wife in 1904, and both are buried at Middletown. Mrs. Bark attended school in Pennsylvania. She has always been a church worker and is active in the Presbyterian Church and Sunday school at Gary, and a member of several women’s clubs.

Earl, the second son, graduated from high school at Elyria, attended the Boston Institute of Technology and was in service with the United States Navy at Boston and at Akron, Ohio, during the World war. He had training in dirigible flying and later was transferred to Montauk Point, Long Island, and commissioned an ensign. He was sent to France and was in dirigible convoy work between Brest and Bordeaux until the end of the war. After the war he was retained in service at Montauk Point, Long Island, for several years and altogether was with the navy for seven years. He was pilot of the dirigible, which flew over New York distributing circulars for the Victory Loan drive and demonstrating the use of wireless for communicating from airships. Later he was stationed at Chatham, and had charge of the work of closing up that station. From there he was sent to Pensacola, Florida, as instructor for dirigibles, was on duty for some time as a pilot at Lakehurst, New Jersey, and was at Norfolk, Virginia, when he resigned.
