Ada was the fourth child, third daughter, born to Eli Rowe and Sarah E. Johnson. Her father, a miller by trade, was born in Kent, England. He and Sarah married 29 Jan 1852 in Hamilton County, Ohio. They moved to Indiana were Ada was born before moving to Kentucky.

Per the 1930 US Census, Ada was 19 when she first married but I haven't been able to determine if her marriage to Mr. Clark about 1880 was her first marriage. I also haven't been able to determine his first name, nor have I found any records of them while married. I know that he died prior to the 1920 US Census for Coalinga, Fresno County, California, because Ada was listed as a widow. She worked as a seamstress for a private family. The 1920 census is the earliest listing I've found for Ada in the LA area.

She and Mr. Clark had a daughter Lillie May, born 29 Sep 1887 in Evansville, Vanderbugh County, Indiana. Her daughter married Arthur Adelbert Allison in 1907 in Los Angeles, California.

Ada's home served as home base for Arthur, Lillie and their son Bert when Arthur, a well driller, traveled to oil fields in Wyoming and Canada.

She was living on Boccacio Avenue in Los Angeles in 1930 so I suspect she died in Los Angeles.
