Most details on the children of John C. Mason Clark, as well as his middle name, are from a family tree on Ancestry.com submitted by Anita McNally.

He was probably named after John Calvin Mason (1802-1865), a popular Kentucky politician.

Her death certificate records Leota B. Akers, age 65 years 5 months 5 days, born 10 Mar 1876 in Boone Co., died 15 Aug 1941 in Jeffery, Boone Co., West Virginia, widow of Albert Akers, father St. Clair Miller, mother’s maiden name Beulah Hill, both born in W.Va, cause of death cancer head pancreas, informant Seward Hill, Jeffery, W.Va., burial in Miller Cemetery, Morrisvale, W.Va.

In 1910 she was listed as Leota B. Hill, age 34, a domestic servant in the household of Albert G. Grass and wife Martha in Union district, Cabell Co., West Virginia. Her marital status was given as M1 (first marriage), rather than widowed or divorced, married 11 years, and she was listed as the mother of 5 children, 3 living.

Two of her sons from her first marriage were living in Boone Co., WV, Seward with Leota’s parents, listed as a grandson, age 9, and Andrew with the family of Robert (age 58) and Sarah J. Hill, listed as a nephew, also age 9. Seward and Andrew are known to be her sons since they were listed as stepsons in the 1920 census with Leota and her third husband Albert J. Akers. Since I have no way of knowing what the given name of her other surviving child was, I cannot search to see what household he or she was living with in 1910.
