Clark Webb and Harriet Lancaster

Updated 04-19-2004

Clark Thomas Webb was born January 27, 1834 in Boston, Eric County, New York

Clark died on January 13, 1925 in Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California.  He is buried at Mountain View Cemetery, Pasadena, California.  (Royal Oaks, lot 750, grave 5.  Cemetery known in 2002 as Mountain View Mortuary and Cemetery at 2400 N. Fair Oaks Ave. in Altadena, Ca. 91011.  626-794-7133)  Clark used to complain to his son in law, John Evitt, in front of Emma Evitt Lemm about his health and use to joke and say "Take me out there to the creek and knock me in the head as I feel so bad."

No picture of Clark has been found as of yet.  But I won't give up on finding one.

INFO; He had a fair complexion with blue eyes and brown hair per his pension file.  He fell and broke his hip on Dec. 4, 1923 and his health began to fail. Clark gave his homestead to his youngest daughters family, the Evitts, and he was to live there until he died but they got in a fight and he moved down to Pasadena to live with his daughter Belle per George Washington Webb (son of David L. Webb).   Emma Evitt Lemm remembers growing up where Clark would be attending his beautiful garden and orchard.  He would construct and build fences around his home.  He added "fancy shingles" to be on the outside of the house. He added an outside toilet, a smoke room to smoke his meat, and a root cedar for their vegetables to be stored in the winter time.  This house burnt down around September 12, 1942 as Mrs. John Evitt Jr. used the fireplace that travelled up next to the addition of the 2 bedrooms and ambers landed on the dry shingles.  John Evitt Sr. had shared with John Evitt Jr.'s wife not to make a fire as he knew that this could happen.  She did so anyways.  The well outside the house was only 10 feet deep during the summer time and there wasn't enough water to stop the fire. It burnt to the ground including the oak trees near the house. Per the Phil Snort Newspaper articles written by son Louis R. Webb- page 28, "My pop drove two Durhams from Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin, to Grass Valley, California, in 1850, and it took him six months to do it.
