Son of Oscar F & Mary Ann (Allen) Clark...3 July 1904 married Mary Emma Singletary (dec'd 1919);15 Jun 1937 married Ruth E Sherman Kingman ...Stepfather to Jean & Charles

He did love spending a lot of time fishing the small streams in the area of the family cabin in the Blue Mountains. We all loved the mountains and spent as many weekends as possible there, along with weeks during the summer, and the freedom that all kids enjoy of roaming the 40 acres free to come and go as we pleased. He also enjoyed hunting pheasants along with his dog, a trained bird pointer. Elmer also had a green thumb and his flower and vegetable gardens were also beautiful and plentiful, especially his Easter lillies, which perfumed the whole area, and his delphiniums. He was an active member of the Masonic Fraternity and a Shriner. In fact for his funeral, my brother and I, had his Blue Lodge provided a full Masonic funeral church and cemetary interment service. To my best knowledge this was the first such service in Dayton. (written by Jean Rainwater, 2005)
