F.A. Clark Obituary 1914
Everett Daily Herald
12-27-1914
Frank A. Clark, a pioneer of Everett, died last night at 10 o'clock in Morgan, Utah. Telegraphic advices were received in Everett late last night by members of the family apprising them that death had resulted suddenly from pneumonia. Mr. Clark went from Salt Lake City to Morgan, a few miles distant, to spend Christmas day with friends. He caught a cold, which rapidly developed into pneumonia and death quickly followed.
Frank A. Clark came to Everett with his brother John J. Clark about 24 years ago, engaging in the clothing business with his relative. Always active in republican politics in Snohomish county, each successive city committee usually had his name on the list. F.A. Clark, better known to intimate friends as "Alex", was a well known citizen of Everett and had a host of friends and well wishers here and in Western Washington. A few years ago he removed from Everett to Utah, where he has been identified with the oil development of that region. Under the administration of Gov. Albert E. Mead, F.A. Clark served as state oil inspector.
The deceased was 66 years old. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Robert Mulvihill, and a brother John J. Clark, both of Everett, and a son Perry Clark of Bluff, Utah.

Notes
Frank Alexander Clark and J.J. Clark had at least two siblings, Robert and ???; I once saw an article in the WA State Library in Olympia that may have the other names. My understanding is that they remained in Wisconsin, though one other brother may have been briefly part of the Everett mercantile business.
My great aunt Jane Clark Mulvihill (born Genevieve (Jennie) Bernice Clark) lived until 1940. She was the first graduate of Everett High School and was later a school teacher. Her husband Robert Mulvihill was a prominent Everett attorney.
My grandfather Perry Alexander Clark lived until 1972. He married Frances Hanson around 1910. His son Perry Alexander Clark, Jr., 1916-96, was my father. Perry Jr. (aka "Bill") married my mother, Gwendolyn Davis Clark, in 1942.
