Notes for CLARK STOKES:
My father, Jack Charles Stokes, son of Charles Walter Stokes furnished the following story regarding Clark Stokes:

My father said when he was approximately 6 or 7 years old, Clark and a few of his brothers visited them in Gladewater, Texas. At that time, Clark would have been approximately 20 to 21 years old. Jack said that his father, Charles Walter Stokes, told my grandmother, Wardie Thelma Stokes, that she had a few "star boarders" to visit with them. Dad said that a "star boarder" was someone that didn't pay for anything. Clark evidently took offense to this remark and took a freight train back to Star City, Arkansas.
