Bio of William Clark
William A. Clark Family
Marjorie Adams submitted this photo of
William A. Clark, wife Tabitha Catherine
(Brooks) Clark, and daughter
Allie:
“William A Clark was married to Tabitha
(nickname Kate) Brooks Clark. He ran away and
when a
William A Clark died in Butte Montana,
the daughters of Kate sued the estate of
William A Clark–who had
become a multi millionaire and was know
as “The Copper King”. The trial was in about
1928 — I have old
newspaper records. Anyway, the girls
could not prove it was their father and lost
the case. Do a search for the
Copper King, and you will find a bed and
breakfast in Butte Montana that has a photo of
William A Clark–the
Copper King. I can see some
resemblance–remember the photo of young
william and the copper king old
william! Interesting! Kate was the
sister of my great great grandmother Lavina
Brooks Clark. The two sisters
married brothers.”
