Silas Clark
Dear Jenevia. I visited the Clark Family Cemetery April 4, 2015. The cemetery sets up on a small hill in a beach grove. It appears nobody has tended to this cemetery for years. Most of the stones were deteriorated. I photographed the limestone slab of Silas Clark. The slab was newer in comparison to other stones in the cemetery. I think the original stones for Silas and I presume his wife Elizabeth may still be there but the letters were worn away. The only other stone that was legible was for Ann Elizabeth Clark. A large tree may have fallen on the stone for her husband Alexander Clark. TJK
