More than 100 years have passed since those hardy and courageous souls, obeying a call from President Brigham Young, struggled across the rugged and pathless Wasatch range of mountains to settle and build their homes in the howling wilderness of Bear Lake Valley. The first group of pioneers came in eleven covered wagons and arrived at Paris Creek September 26, 1863, where they made the first permanent settlement. Other pioneers came during the next several weeks and joined with the first group of settlers. We are told that forty-eight men, forty women, and about thirty children stayed in Bear Lake Valley that first winter. They built log cabins, with dirt roofs and floors, to shelter them. Fortunately, that first winter was a mild one for the Bear Lake area and it proved to be a blessing to those early pioneers.

It was long known that John Alexander kept a journal but it was unknown whether it had been burned with the rest of his belongings after he died from smallpox in Palestine in 1894. Just over 100 years later, Ezra T. Clark Organization President, Antone Clark requested on this website any information on the whereabouts of Alexander's journal(s), The following day, he received a response and within a week was able to locate, transcribe, and scan it. Each scanned page of the journal and its accompanying transcription is available on Kindex as well as in this printed publication.

Mary Elizabeth Clark married twice into polygamy, divorced twice and bore four children with her second husband, Joseph Robinson, who was her childhood friend and neighbor, and with whom she suffered formidable trials. Mary ultimately found her calling as a midwife, delivering hundreds of children in the Farmington area until she succumbed to cancer at age 54. We challenge YOU to expand upon her story and derive from the records now available –and those yet to be discovered– a fuller picture, and thus understanding of this remarkable servant who touched the lives of almost everyone in Farmington. Much gratitude must be given to Maurine Porter who penned this seven-page biography on the life of her grandmother(?) drawn from the major events of her life and from snippets of comments and conversations and necessary conjecture. It supplies the reader with the unique circumstances Mary navigated and offers perspective for the choices she made. It leaves the reader with much to ponder and question. We must ask ourselves if we can possibly expand the picture, in order to gain a greater understanding of this most interesting woman, Ezra and Mary's only daughter, who often felt misunderstood.

Antone Clark (?) combed through over 50 years of Wilford Woodruff journals to extract all Clark family references which reveal a lifelong friendship beginning in the 1830s and which still bears fruit today in the marriages of Ezra and Wilford's children and grandchildren.

For many years the counsel, "write a book of remembrance." was considered by me to be good advice for one gifted at story telling, or one with outstanding experiences—neither of which applied to me. In my late forties, my inner desire was to live until my oldest son could assume the management of our farm. In Clark Fashion, I thought it should remain in the possession of the family. In my late fifties a doctor told me if I would ease up on my work I should live until I was seventy. That advise I did not follow, but I decided to write the story of my life. But I failed at that time, to write anything worth preserving. Owen, the historian of the family, made an attempt to have me talk and him record, but it was no improvement. In 1970, I tried again. Owen's comment was, "You improve with each try." In 1974 I decided to try again. Without Gladys' encouragement and suggestions that I add here and change there, Owen's insistence, and the use of Leila's diaries, this would never have been written...

A collection of all known correspondence between John Alexander and his family, transcribed and compiled by Antone Clark. John Alexander died from smallpox in 1894 while serving a mission in Palestine. Just over 100 years later, Ezra T. Clark Organization President, Antone Clark compiled the letters into this publication. It was from reading these letters that Antone discovered Alexander kept a journal and was able to locate and transcribe it as well. Each original letter will be made available in Kindex on the Ezra T. Clark family archive as well as in this printed publication.

Robinson was a prolific journaler whose great heart and testimony is manifest in every entry. In 1847, Robinson petitioned Brigham Young to settle north of Salt Lake and was permitted to do so while also being assigned as the first Bishop of 'North Cottonwood' which at the time, stretched from North Canyon (Bountiful) to Ogden. When Ezra arrived in 1849, Robinson made accommodations for Ezra's tract of land next to his own. As the Bishop, lifelong neighbor and friend to the Clarks, many shared experiences are recorded herein, including a mission call to southern Utah, the issue of a water wheel and molasses mill, a blessing, and the posthumous sealing of Robinson's daughter, Lydia, to Ezra and Mary's oldest son, Ezra James.

This biography of Ezra's older brother by RLDS author Julia R. Short was published in 1913 in the RLDS 'Journal of History' in the form of a tribute based largely on William's own writings. As such, it could also be considered an autobiography. The introduction is as follows: "William Oglesby Clark was one of the early defenders of the church, and was noted as an orator and zealous worker, as well as a man of unimpeachable character. Subsequently he was a world-renowned traveler and lecturer. Some of his early experiences will be chronicled in these pages, but we regret to say that some of the important periods of his life are omitted, notably his experience in the church during the Missouri troubles. These notes were furnished us by his great niece, Mrs. Julia R. Short, who waited upon him during his sickness in January, 1912. Some of these she obtained in the form of his own writings, and some were related by him to her. She states she has preserved his own language where possible. We are sure readers will appreciate the privilege of reading of this honored pioneer in church work, who though he was not connected with the Reorganized Church, ever retained an abiding faith in God and the truth, and partook not of the abominations of the latter day apostasy. He closed his earthly existence at Santa Rosa, California, November 7, 1912, at the ripe age of over ninety-five years. Nearly a century of active work for the uplift of man must bear fruit in time and in eternity. -EDITOR. ‍"

"Elder [John Alexander] Clark was the son of Ezra T. and Susan Leggett of Farmington. He was unmarried and was born February 28th, 1871. He was set apart in this city for the Turkish Mission, February 21st, 1894, and departed therefore immediately afterwards. The deceased was an excellent young man , worthy of the high confidence placed in him, and the news of his death while he was yet on the threshold of manhood will be received with universal sadness and regret. The sorrowful tidings were communicated to the young man's parents --this evening." (Deseret News, March 5, 1895)

"I have determined to write somewhat of my brief encounter with this telestial sphere. ... I was born May 23, 1899 on the ranch about 2 1/2 miles south of Auburn, Wyoming (Star Valley) to Hyrum Don Carlos Clark and Ann Eliza Porter Clark. They named me Rosel Elwin for Rosel Hyde and Elwin Hammond. I am the 9th of 13 children born to my mother...I was born in the old log house...My father was the fifth son and sixth child of Ezra T. Clark and Mary Stevenson, who crossed the plains to Utah in 1848. The following year he moved to Farmington, where he lived the remainder of his life and where he built his "empire," and raised two large families. He branched out — once into the Bear Lake country of Idaho and once to Morgan, where he would plant some of his family, and then back to Farmington, where he kept the remainder of his families clustered around him, each in his own fine house but living from a common store house and a common store account, but all working for the common good."

"During the last number of years several in the family have felt that highlights of Father's life should be written, and some have done so, including Elwin who has passed on. In recent years, Edna had prodded me on to assemble and compile what I could. All of the sons and daughters now living who were able, have made contributions, and also two granddaughters, for which grateful appreciation is extended. We are fortunate indeed to have a brief sketch of Father's life, written just over two months prior to his accident, and also to have copies of three letters written by him while on his first mission, in 1878, as also a copy of a letter written by his uncle and missionary companion, Edward Stevenson. ..We can say, as he too could say, ". . . having been born of goodly parents . . .

“This autobiography is the story of a beautiful and gifted woman who freely chose to live as a second wife to a brilliant teacher she met while attending the Brigham Young University. Her marriage took place in 1883 when polygamy, or ‘plural marriage’ was widely practiced and strongly defended by the Mormon religion.” ~Obert Clark Tanner, Annie Clark Tanner’s tenth child. Annie Clark Tanner was born September 24, 1864, in Farmington, Utah. She wrote this autobiography for her family in 1941, the last year of her life. She was a woman whose satisfaction came in accomplishing what she believed to be her duty. Her writing reflects a native optimism and almost inexhaustible energy. She saw life through, with misgivings about herself, but with sympathetic understanding and compassion for others.

"At the close of my life's work I feel impressed to write a few words to my family and intimate friends. I feel that according to the laws of nature, which are the laws of God, I may be nearing the end of my earthly probation. I am pretty well satisfied with my life's work. I have been wonderfully blessed all the days of my life, and I feel that the Lord has been very good to me. I am proud and thankful for my heritage. I was born of goodly parents and have a splendid lot of good brothers and sisters. I am proud of them and they have been good to me. I love the memory of all of them."

History of First 50 Years of Davis County Utah. "The book is interesting, remarkably well constructed, and enjoyable to read. It is packed with information that turns a seemingly insignificant area - north of Salt Lake City - into a fascinating storyline. A previous comment about the book’s “stiffness” is really a back-handed compliment to the book’s scholarly approach and vitality." - Online review

Mr. Bryant, by natural aptitude and legal training, possessed those qualifications which first-class genealogical work requires of its devotees. His interest in the subject began early in life, during his student years. His system was to search methodically through probate and land records to “set up” the family groups, and then to add the details provided by vital and church records. He visited many cemeteries and copied a large number of inscriptions from gravestones, and he called on or corresponded with many elderly descendants of the family. He was assiduous in “digging up” old Bible records and other documents in many branches of the family, and these he copied verbatim, himself, whenever possible, or had photostatic copies made to insure accuracy. To set straight the early generations of the Clarks of Milford, Connecticut, perhaps to about 1800, was Mr. Bryant’s original idea...To make sure of the identity of the wives and husbands of the Clarks, he worked out the genealogy, to or beyond 1800, of all the Milford families, only a degree less thoroughly than he worked out the Clarks themselves. Later, he was urged to bring the Clark family down to date, and made the effort to do so.
