Susan--I believe my Mamie Clark is Carrie's sister. Mamie appears almost certainly to
be the daughter of John Edward Clark, a miner and police officer, born in Virginia in 1830
and died in San Bernardino, CA in 1908. In 1886 a Mrs. J.E. Clark lived at the same
address in San Francisco as judge Charles Allard Low. In 1896 JEC moved from SB to SF and
he's listed in the SF directories as a bailiff in the court of Low and lives at the
same address as Low in 1896 (Pine St.) and 1897 (Guerrero).
The 1900 census shows Charles A. Lowe (with an "e") in Santa Rosa, Sonoma
County, which is near SF. His wife is Carrie, born 1865 in Nevada; daughter Effie b. 1885
CA; they had been married for 15 years.
Mamie Clark was born in Nevada around 1869. She married Alexander K. Johnson in SB in
1892. Their son was Marion Clark Johnson. They divorced around 1901 and moved to
Seattle/Tacoma. Mamie's mother, acording to the census, was born in Missouri, her
father in Virginia. I have sent a separate email to your Yahoo address with more details.
