Walter and Dorothy celebrated their 42nd Wedding Anniversary before his death in 1971. She followed him into Eternal Life 15 years later. They are buried at Monte Vista Park Cemetery in Bluefield, WV along with his mother and step-father Nora and Frank Lazenby. Dorothy's parents are also buried at this cemetery along with other Stafford relatives.
Although his father and grandparents spelled their surname CLARK, Walter evidently chose to spell his name CLARKE ... which is the spelling on his and Dorothy's headstones.
NOTE from researcher F. Hylton: Married Jun 23 1928 in Bluefield - Spelled Clark on marriage record and birth record - death record has Clarke.
