Clark
English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a memberof a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clercdenoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c‘priest’, reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latinclericus, from Greek klerikos, a derivative of kleros ‘inheritance’,‘legacy’, with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy)‘whose inheritance was the Lord’. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy inminor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus thesurname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtuallyonly members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so thatthe term clerk came to denote any literate man.

Obituary for Walter Clark
March 3, 1935
Dallas Morning News
WAXAHACHIE, Texas, March 2
With his casket draped with the flag of America, which he served in theWorld War, the body of Walter Clark, 36, who died on Padre Island, makinga frantic search for his brother Harvey, later found unharmed, was buriedin a Waxahachie Cemetery Friday.
Commercial fishermen, the Clark brothers were angling in the Gulf,several miles from Corpus Christi. A windstorm blew up, separatingthem. In the excitement, Walter Clark thought he saw his brother in askiff, buffeted by high waves. In efforts to reach his brother, runningalong the island, then rowing in his boat, he overtaxed his heart anddied.
Surviving him are four brothers Ed, Ewell and Harvey of Corpus Christiand Floyd of Waxahachie, a garage man.
