CREATION OF THIS FAMILY TREE

In 1980, Lloyd Clark retired and began a life long dream to research his  family history. Receiving an overwhelming response from many family  members, he compiled this database of family history and biographical  information. Using a standard typewriter and small personal copier, Lloyd  published his first family history volume in January of 1985. He sent copies  of the family tree to all interested family members and published a monthly  newsletter updating family with new information and family highlights. He  received many letters from family members and printed them in the newsletter.

Lloyd died October 11, 1991. In his memory, I have compiled the data he  collected to a database and subsequently this website. It was his wish that all family members have access to and update their information on a regular basis. As a family member, this website allows you to do just that. Please keep his dream  alive!

The following dedication and acknowledgments are from his original publication.

DEDICATION:

From the First Edition, January 1986:

"To those brave pioneers whose courage, self-discipline, determination and 
love of the land is our great legacy, and to Leo F. Clark. We all stand in debt
to Leo F. Clark, (my father's brother) who inspired me at a very early age to 
compile these pages. His commendable interest in family history, family 
scrapbooks and photo albums, together with membership in the Kansas State 
Historical Society, practically made my inspiration an obsession. He organized 
the annual Kansas Old Settler's Day and was instrumental in inspiring his 
Mother to write the narrative 'Early Days Along the Solomon Valley'. https://www.kansasmemory.org/item/221606/page/10883

In addition to those mentioned in this volume, I wish to thank the following  descendants for their help and encouragement in the research of the history:

Samuel C. Clark, Ruby M. Morningstar, Alice M. Splitstone, Ruth M. Samuels, 
Percy R. Clark, Thelma Sheel, Ralph Feather, Jessie Blair, Gaye Maring, 
Juanita Wagner, and Delma Kimsey."
