Other data from Pauline Clark, including first & third marriages.

"Daniel Clark came from Ohio and settled near Mr. Hagan, on Salt Creek
in this year [1835], and remained until his death, in 1854."
[The History of Menard and Mason Counties, Illinois, p.411]
*****
In 1830, Robert and William Hughes entered the land now the farm of M. Vanlanningham, which Daniel Clark, Sr., purchased and settled upon in 1835, and where the old gentleman died in 1853, and was buried near the house in which he lived, and which is
still there, though the first house he lived in there was a log hut. His three sons are still living; Alfred, in Crane Creek Township; Daniel, in Mason City, and William, in Dubuque, Iowa. [From 1879 History of Menard & Mason Counties

Page 789
E. EVERIST, farmer, Sec. 20; P. O. Mason City; born in Clinton Co., Ohio, Jan. 27, 1839, where he was raised to farm labor until 1859, when he came to Illinois and followed teaming and farming, at and near Havana, Mason Co., until 1865, when he located
upon his present farm of eighty acres, where he has since lived. His marriage with Mary E. Hole was celebrated in Mason City, May 31, 1866; she was born in Mason Co., July 15, 1847. They have four children by this union-Zilla, born Feb. 2, 1868; Ralph,
April 10, 1870; Louie, Nov. 20, 1875, and Cecil, Oct. 16, 1877, and Joseph, who died when 2 years of age. Mrs. Everist is the daughter of Joseph E. Hole, who was born in Washington Co., Ind., about 1821. He was married, in 1846, to Miss Clotilda Green;
immediately after his marriage, he came to Mason Co., Ill., and for more than a year lived upon a farm owned by Daniel Clark. He soon acquired 320 acres of land about two miles south of Mason City, and was elected Justice of the Peace; he was noted for
his correct decisions, and was highly respected in the community where he lived until his decease, which occurred in 1855. Mrs. Hole is now living in Mason City.
*****
Rice's history of the Hole family apparently mentions a son Nathan, who died
unmarried, but we have not found any documentation to prove/disprove this.
Note that there is a James Clark [died Feb. 6, 1863 - 85th ILL Inf ] in the
same cemetery.
