Well when my grandmother Inez Kittle Clark died while moving back to Texas from La. in 1915. The took her out and buried her. A delayed death certificate was filed in 1943 by her oldest son in Ill. It said stomach trouble. She is buried somewhere in Sabine Co. I think this was common back then. I think that is what your "no papers means" The will may have been probated the next year in Probate Records. My grandfather was Walter Henderson Clark b 1858 Karnes Co. Tx. His father was Isaac J Clark b 1818 Tenn or Al. He came to Texas in time to be on the 1850 census in DeWitt Co. I don't think there is a connection between our Clarks but we can never miss a chance :) I am looking for a William Clark that married in 1847 in Amite Co. Miss. to a Montgomery. Where is your William Clark from?
