I am trying to find out when my greatgreatgrandfather passed away. His name was John B. Clark, he was born in 1834 in England. His wife was Anna Fischerbauer, she was born in 1842 in Austria or Germany. They are listed in the 1900 Federal cenus for Redlodge, Carbon County, Montana. He passed away sometime between 1900 and 1910.

I went through the Montana death index. Several John Clark's but none matched your criteria. I checked every cemetery in Carbon County and found nothing. I would check the 1910 census for Anna and even for John as you are not sure of the death year. Do you have any idea what he did for a living?.

Thank you for your help. John Clark and his wife originally came from Streator, LaSalle County, Illinois. They are listed in the 1870 and 1880 federal cenus. They moved to Redlodge, Montana sometime in the late 1800's. After he passed away, his wife went to Macoupin County, Illinois to live with her daughter Minnie. In the 1910 cenus for Macoupin County, Illinois she is listed as a widow. I am going to post a message for Livingston, Park County, Montana. Two of his sons moved to Livingston, from Redlodge. They are listed in 1910 cenus. John Clark and his sons were house painters. You do not have to help anymore, because you are not going to find anything else.

The book I am speaking of is easy to get a hold of,it was for me anyway.Go to your local library and ask for They gazed on the beartooths by Jim Annin.I am in Oregon and thats all I did.The books came from Olympia,Washington.I will say that you should check the cemetaries in Carbon Co.You can do that with www.findagrave.com it is free.If you find nothing there try USGenweb for Montana.Or Genealogy.com,just type in the surname and see what you get under John B.There will lots of them but maybe you find him in there.I would have to send for these books again to tell you right out.My Grandmother and Mary were friends maybe John B was a relative to Mary?

John B Clark may very well be a relative to Mary M Clarke,the woman Laura Ellsworth Britton came to Montana with.From surfing and looking I did find a Mary M Clarke wedding Malcolm McDonald Nye,Yellowstone,Montana 4 Nov 1891 marriage ID#420726 Mary was 29 yrs old at this time.This record id from at BYU in their special collections on Western States.The books I am speaking of are in Olympia,Wa. in their library.All I did was talk to my local librarian and they just ordered them and you need is a library card.I had them 2 weeks over a year ago.

The Mary M Clarke I am speaking of came from Illinois or Indiana in the 1800's (1888.The book said that Laura and Mary came to Montana together and that Laura was 26 at the time and so was Mary.My grandmother Laura married in 1890 and I find Mary wedding Malcolm McDonald in 1891 4 Nov. at the BYU special collections on Western states.I am told also that Laura was born in Kankakee,Illinois in abt. 1862.
