Mary Belle Clark

Mary Belle Clark, 1910-1947, Marshall Cemetery, Marshall, Illinois

Mary Belle was married to my moms fathers brother, Creal Clark with whom she had one child, my cousin Tom. She died when he was very small. I don't know if Tom knows much about his mom, or if he even knew she was buried with his grandparents. I don't know Tom and his family as well as I'd like but I am very fond of them and hope this discovery and the photos gives them the warm fuzzies, it certainly does me. I may discover when I meet the family on the other side of the veil that they don't particularly care where their mortal remains end up but for me it's important that families be together and I was tickled to find Mary Belle with my great-granparents and my Aunt Jane. We almost didn't find her grave, it was hidden behind these flower bushes and I had to do some extensive pruning, but it was worth it! It was a labor of love!
