Brief History of Thomas Francis Clark, by Patty Rush, Cousin
Thomas Francis Clark was born on August 20, 1920, in Brooklyn. He was the second of four children, and the only son of Catherine (Kitty) Harrington and Frank Clark. After his brief frist marriage to Mary Ellen, he re-married two more times. Tom died on May 4, 1999, in Huntsville, Texas, and is buried at Brooks Cemetery. Tom was named after his uncle (his mother's brother, Thomas W. Harrington) whose plane was shot down over LeHavre, France, during WWI, when he was 20 years old.
