Gertrude was the second of eight children for Christopher Columbus and Martha Louisa (Lea) Clarke. The family lived in Macomb, Illinois, so that is probably where she was born, but I have no data to show that.
Gertrude was the first of the children to pass away, cause unknown. About 1883 the family had moved from Macomb, Illinois to Bentonville, Arkansas, so that is why Gertrude is buried there. That is probably where she died, but again there is no hard data to show that. The Clarkes had a family plot in the Bentonville Cemetery and many of the family members are buried there, including Gertrude's parents and some of her siblings.
