I've "rescued" an old photograph of Alma G. CLARK of Lima, NY which was
taken at the Bronson Studio in Lima. The photograph includes reference to
Alma being part of the graduating class of 1895 at Genessee Wesleyan
Seminary. the photograph appears to have been taken about that time with
Alma in her teens most likely. Based on limited research I was able to
locate the following information regarding Alma and her family:
Alma Guillet CLARK was b. 22 Dec 1877 in Lima, NY to parents Francis Henry
CLARK (1843-1914) and Henrietta Emeline SAFFORD (1846-1919). Alma was one
of 7 children born to this couple including, Nellie Mae L.; Maud C.; Alma
G.; Mabel L.; Morgan Safford; Sarah E.; and Ida C. CLARK, all born between
1872 and 1885. Alma married Cephas GUILLET (1865-1948) and together they
had a son, John "Jack" Francis GUILLET (1905-1977). Alma died Feb 1978 in
Bronx, NY.

family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
