Fred was born 4 May 1904 near Edom in Van Zandt County. As an infant, he moved to Rankin in Ellis County with his parents John Beri Clark and Virginia "Jennie" Vinson and a large contingent of the Clark/Vinson/ Wolverton clan.

Some time between 1911 and 1918 he moved with his parents to Crisp, east of Palmer. His father John Beri died in Crisp in 1919.

Fred married Clementine "Clemmie" McMullen in Ellis County on August 24, 1929. After their marriage, they moved to New Orleans where Fred obtained a job as a street car conductor for the New Orleans Transit Authority with the help of his first cousins Ben, Thomas and Vernon Vinson who were already employees of the transit company.
Fred Clark an his wife Clemmie were living next door to the Vinson's household at 8323 Jeannette, New Orleans, in 1930. They were paying $18 per month rent. They had been married 1 year. Fred was a first cousin of the Vinson brothers.

About 1933 Fred and Clemmie moved back to Ellis County, Texas where Fred operated a farm between Boyce and Reagor Springs. Their daughter Bettie Jean was born there.
