House Family Cemetery
Carter County, Missouri, USA
During and shortly after World War II, five of the Clark's nine living children, their spouses, and grandchildren moved from Missouri to Whatcom County, WA. Most became berry farmers. In 1946, John and Edith Clark sold their farm and moved to Ferndale, Whatcom, Washington, to live near most of their children and grandchildren. Sometime after 2000, cattle grazing in the field knocked over the headstones. The owner put a fence around the small burial ground. When Aleen Boxx Fison (John and Edith Clark's granddaughter) visited in 2007, the cemetery was overgrown with bushes and thistles. Aleen's husband David and daughter Susan found the headstone for Francis Marion House and his grandson William. It had been face-down in the dirt but was well-preserved. They also found the weathered, broken headstone of Rev. Jacob Hardy but could not find other headstones due to the thistles.
