On November 15, 1969, the executive Committee and the family representatives of the Ezra T. Clark Family Association met at the Davis County Bank in Farmington, Utah. A committee was selected to arrange for the Family Reunion to be eld this month.

A report was given of the progress made in the genealogical work by our researcher during the past year. It was reported that over three hundred (300) names had been sent to the genealogical library so that temple work could be done. With the use o the GIANT reporting system, ancestral research work is progressing very rapidly.

Our researcher has compiled histories of some of the progenitors...(Missing info...Paper is shredded)...

...include Barrett Jr. Baldwin,...Beare, Thomas Wheeler, Captain Andrew Newcombe, William Paine, John Rockwell, Taylor and Weldon Jones Weed, also biography references for the mentioned histories.

ur researcher has now found in England four generations of progenitors of Farmer George Clark, namely George Clark, George Clarke, William Clarke, and (gentleman) George Clark, makeing nine generations from Ezra T. Clark.

She is now searching for further information on these persons.

If our research is to continue it will be necessary for each of us to assist financially as our resources are exhausted. If you will forward your donation of $10.00 or more to Ezra T. Clark Family Association, c/o Davis County Bank, Farmington, Utah, a set of the histories will be forwarded to you. Let us all do our part in carrying forward the work in research.

Lyman B. Clark, Ezra's Last Living Grandson, Age 95
By
Lyman B. Clark
Lyman was born in Clearfield, Utah on December 24, 1925 to Horace Wells Clark and Janette Benzon Clark, spending childhood years in Ogden, Utah and teenage years in Layton, Utah, graduating there from Davis High School. A natural athlete, Lyman played several sports in high school, favorites being football and basketball. He was named outstanding prep performer in Utah in 1942 and captain of the Salt Lake Tribune’s all-state football team in 1944. He played quarterback for the University of Utah’s football team for a year before entering military service as an air force cadet for almost two years. After returning to the university, he was a key member of the celebrated 1947 basketball team that won the National Invitational Tournament championship. Lyman married Josephine Larsen in 1949; they’ve enjoyed almost 73 years of marriage, raising a family of five children, twelve grandchildren and eighteen great grandchildren. His professional career included several management positions with Montgomery Ward for 32 years. He was the company’s regional merchandise manager of the southeastern states in Orlando, Florida before being assigned district manager in San Diego, where he took early retirement in 1982 and opened his own business for 19 years, Clark’s Stationers, in Rancho Bernardo. He and Jo lived in and loved the community of Poway, enjoying lasting business and personal friendships. He was a member of Rotary, the local Chamber of Commerce and director of the North County United Way board for several years. Lyman and Jo especially enjoyed traveling together to places near and far and he was devoted to his family, whom he considered his greatest “forever” blessing and greatest achievement. Golfing was his favorite activity and he was an enthusiastic spectator of any sport. An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ, he was a “people person”, so especially enjoyed his time as Bishop of his ward, as well as his other stake and ward callings.
