Fred Clark was my maternal grandfather. He was born: May 30, 1895 in Parnassus, Westmoreland County, Penn. and died June 17, 1958 in south Texas. His father was I.L Clark and his mother was Maggie Clark. His father was a glass blower. I would love to find out more about his parents and brothers and sisters if any. He married my grandmother Marjorie Rees of Potter County PA she was born at EAST FORK April 6, 1897 and died in 1927, he remarried and moved to TEXAS. He had fought with the 305th Engineers in WWI and was injured/disabled by machine gun fire. He had enlisted in Potter County PA. My mother had a brother Chris and a sister Lois. Otherwise I know very little about the Clark family, and would appreciate anything you know about them.
