Hope someone can identify the two men with my grandfather in this portrait-type picture. My grandfather, John Benjamin(e) Clark (1879 Laurel/Rockcastle cos. KY--1967 Jefferson Co. KY), is standing on the LEFT as you look at the picture. The taller man on the right was wearing a tie with the initial "N." So far, we have no surnames in the Clark line that begin with "N." The older man, seated, could be Ben's father John B. Clark (1848 VA-1901 KY). If this seated man is my "brickwall" John B. Clark, this picture was taken before he died in March 1901. We do know that the seated man is not Ben's father-in-law Joseph Hughes. Ben Clark: s/o John B. Clark and Permela/Permelia/Amelia E. Burton CLARK. Permela E. Burton (1851-1896) d/o Jesse & Margaret (Brooks) BURTON, Rockcastle Co. KY. Have no info on John B. Clark's parents, county of birth in VA (WV?), relatives, etc... Ben m'd Elizabeth Hughes d/o Joseph and Jane (Baxter) HUGHES, Laurel Co. KY in Laurel co. in 1901. Ben worked as coal miner when he was young; he became a conductor for L&N Railroad & retired from there 1950s>. He was a member of the Red Men org in the Laurel Co. area in the early 1900s, and also was in the Spanish-American War. Ben's sisters married the following: Nanie J. m'd Thompson JEFFREY/JEFFREY, Maggie m'd Logan SALYERS/SAILORS, Ida B. m'd Luther BLACK, Hattie M. m'd Jake Atherton, Delbert Gibins Clark m'd Lottie ADAMS. Any help is greatly appreciated! charlotte dadamiro@yahoo.com > ATTACHMENT part 2 image/jpeg name=pop3men.jpg
