Jim was born on a farm in Independence county, Arkansas, near the town of Newark. His parents were Josephine Marshall Clark and Thomas Ewing Clark. Jim married Coye Easter Barber and raised two daughters, Erma Lee Clark Karr and Betty Lou Clark Edwards. Two sons died in infancy.
During the depression, Jim road the rails in search of work and had many stories to tell about his adventures and the people he met. He eventually moved his family to Arizona and settled in Phoenix. Jim was a cement mason by trade and worked on many of the highways and bridges in Arizona.
Jim liked to stay busy. He did rock and cement work on their home in Phoenix and built a wonderful outdoor kitchen, complete with a rock barbeque area. One of my memories from childhood is the steaks my Grandpa cooked on that grill! Jim could also make the best tamales. I have the meat grinder he used to grind up the meat and it is one of my treasured possessions.
I spent many days with my Grandparents during my childhood. Grandpa and I would watch cartoons in the afternoons. He loved Bugs Bunny and got the biggest kick out of that rabbit's antics.
Grandpa, I love you and miss you always. I'll see you again someday.
