Va, nearest relative Mrs. Bertha Clark, P.O. Box 513, Holden, W.Va, place of employment #1 Mine, Island Creek Coal Co., Holden, Logan C., WVa.
The SSDI lists Ambros Clark, born 15 Jan 1895, died Nov 1967, last residence Holden, Logan Co., West Virginia.
Since he was listed as age 3 in 1900 and age 14 in 1910, I suspect he was really born in 1896, but 1895 seems to be the birthdate he went by as an adult.
