Her age is given as 55 and his as 63.. She was the daughter of William Holden Clark and Louvisa Bigelow. She married Wallace Ruben Matthews at Jackson, Jackson County, MI, USA, on 5 November 1884.2 Marietta Mary Etta Clark appeared on the census of 1910 at Grand Rapids, Kent County, MI, USA. The census lists the family as: William R.

She died on 3 May 1949 at Battle Creek, Calhoun County, MI, at age 84.2 She was buried at Second English Presbyterian Church Cemetery, at Amwell, Hunterdon County, NJ, USA. Mary Etta Mathews.

     The 1910 census is really confusing. The census taker writes that William has 2 children, 2 living and that Marietta has 2 children, 2 living; however, there are 3 children listed. It is likely that this means that they each had former marriages.
