Orson Clark-11/23/81 - Pg 31

Interviewer: Did they marry local people here or did they just move away early into other areas?

Orson Clark: Not that I know of. They just moved away.

Interviewer: There are none of their descendants around Farmington then?

Orson Clark: Not that I know of.

Lucille Clark: My Grandfather Cole raised an Indian girl, too.

Interviewer: What happened to her?

Lucille Clark: She was married in the Temple. She had a family and she lived up in Chesterfield.

Interviewer: And her descendants are still there?

Lucille Clark: I think so.

Interviewer: And they were accepted by the community with no problems there?

Lucille Clark: Yes. They named her Ruth.

Interviewer: See, Brigham Young encouraged the early members of the church to take Indian children. And some of the men were encouraged to marry Indian girls. I have often wondered what happened to their children.

Lucille Clark: Well, she married a white man.

Orson Clark: Indian Annie, they used to call the mother.

Interviewer: Were you ever up there in her home at all?

Orson Clark: No sir, I've never been up there. They have a road. There is a family that lives up there now.

Lucille Clark: They've bought it. It's a young couple, well I imagine they are in their 40's. They have been doing a lot of cleaning and building. I met the lady one day at a Relief Society program for the stake.

Interviewer: Orson, coming back to you, what year was it that you went to Utah State?

Orson Clark: Oh, what was it Mother?

Lucille Clark: '18 and '19, and '19 and '20. Well we were married in '20 though, so it must have been '17 and '18, and '18 and '19.
