I am looking for knowledge of Larks probably from Nashville, TN. James and Bailey were the sons - Sarah and Jack (?) were daughters.

Vivian Smith
Posted: Monday, Aug 01, 2005 - 03:27:36 pm PDT
COLUMBIA BASIN HERALD, MOSES LAKE.

Vivian Smith, 94, longtime Warden resident, passed away Thursday, July 28, 2005 at her granddaughter's home in Moses Lake.

Vivian was born to late Edward & and LaVerna (Nelson) Lark on January 8, 1911 in Emmet, Idaho where she was raised and attended grade school. She moved to LaGrand, Ore. for her high school and college education. She lived as a nanny through these years in order to go to school. She taught one year at Blue Mountain School.

At Christmastime she married Glenn D. Smith and lived many years in Ponderosa, Ore. where her two daughters were born and raised. Their pleasures in life were hunting, fishing, camping and pinochle parties. In 1954, they purchased and moved to their farm in Warden. It was like pioneering. In 1966, her husband retired and rented the farm. They continued to live on the farm. In Sept. of 1966 her husband lost his life in a boating accident on the O'Sullivan Dam. Her mother moved on to the farm and stayed until she passed away.

She was active at the Warden Senior Center and Warden Women's Club for about 30 years. She spent many happy times quilting, painting and traveling to see relatives during these years. Unfortunately, the past 15 years she suffered with dementia. We will love and miss her greatly. She is survived by her two daughters of Warden, Dona R. Sartin (Harold) and Carol L. Ditty, five grand children, 11 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren. Arrangements are in the care of Kayser's Chapel & Crematory, Moses Lake.

LARK / LAWRENCE

Pamela Watt — 13 Feb 2004 3:15:53 GMT

Looking for descendants of Julian Lark and Catherine Lawrence (born 1832 Stepney, Middlesex, England) who was my great-grandfather's sister.
We believe Julian was a Colonel in the US Army. The 1880 US Census shows Julian remarried and living in NY with second wife Emily and their children. A daughter, Minnie Lark, is from his first marriage to Catherine. This is the line I am trying to follow.
Would like to establish the date of Catherine's death, and find descendants of daughter Minnie.

Ralph was said to reside in London Ontario after the WW1 he was a Gunnery Instructor training First Nation Canadians on "Gyroscopic Stability" evidently the lads thought this such funny language that they nick named Ralph with Gyroscopic. Is there any one out there who can help us find his family - females have a habit of changing there names!!!
