William A. Clark Family

Marjorie Adams submitted this photo of William A. Clark, wife Tabitha Catherine (Brooks) Clark, and daughter Allie:

“William A Clark was married to Tabitha (nickname Kate) Brooks Clark. He ran away and when a William A Clark died in Butte Montana, the daughters of Kate sued the estate of William A Clark–who had become a multi millionaire and was know as “The Copper King”. The trial was in about 1928 — I have old newspaper records. Anyway, the girls could not prove it was their father and lost the case. Do a search for the Copper King, and you will find a bed and breakfast in Butte Montana that has a photo of William A Clark–the Copper King. I can see some resemblance–remember the photo of young william and the copper king old william! Interesting! Kate was the sister of my great great grandmother Lavina Brooks Clark. The two sisters married brothers.”
