This is a follow-up to my May 22, 2007, posting to the RootsWeb CAULK Message Board titled “CAULK Family of Montgomery Co., IL, area.”

See Linda PETERS’s May 22, 2007, posting to the Montgomery Co., IL, mailing list, located at the following site, which includes a transcription of the obituary for George Washington CAULK (1855 – 1936):

Based on this obituary and census information, I have drawn the following conclusions:

1. Levi Jefferson CARLOCK/CEARLOCK (s/o Isaac CARLOCK/CARELOCK and Lucinda D. SCRIBNER), 1853 – 1923, probably did not marry Clara or Sarah CAULK in 1915, as his fourth wife. His wife Kate WIEDENKELLER is believed to have still been alive at this time. She is believed to have died Nov. 26, 1918. Although Kate is not listed on the 1910 census for Witt, Witt Township, Montgomery Co., IL, with Levi, his daughter Alta May CARLOCK, and their daughter Bertha I. CARLOCK, Levi is listed as married on that census. I only had one, sometimes unreliable source, for Levi’s marriage to Clara or Sarah CAULK.

2. Eli CAULK, b. Oct. 1887, IL, who m. Alta May CARLOCK, is believed to be the same individual as the Eli CAULK listed in the above-mentioned obituary. His parents are believed to be George Washington CAULK and his wife Harriett Catherine “Catherine.”

3. Clara C. CAULK, b. Aug., 1894, Witt, Montgomery Co., IL, who m. William Louis “Louis/Louie” CARLOCK, is believed to be the same individual as the Clara CARLOCK listed in the above-mentioned obituary. Her parents are believed to be George Washington CAULK and his wife Harriett Catherine “Catherine.”

Both Eli and Clara are listed in George Washington CAULK’s household on the 1900 census for Rountree Township, Montgomery Co., IL. Clara is also listed in George Washington CAULK’s household on the 1910 census for Rountree Township, Montgomery Co., IL.
