Son of Edward Porter Clark and Ida May Chiles Clark, "Uncle Ed" never married. He served in WWII as a private in the U. S. Army & worked many years with his brother Harvey Clark as a commercial fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico out of Corpus Christi.

At the death of his brother in 1959, he came to live with his niece, Betty Lou Clark Tune, and her family in Ovilla, Texas. Uncle Ed was a character, loved to play dominoes with the men in Ovilla, enjoyed teasing his nieces and nephews, and always gave us a quarter to go buy "wax", aka chewing gum, at Wilson Pickard's grocery store in Ovilla.

Rest in peace Uncle Ed.
