Notes for CLARK EDWIN BASTRESS:
Clark was raised in Shamrock and met Mossie at the Aldine Hotel in Sunbury across from the train station where
she was a cook.
Mossie later baked pies at Keithan's Bakery in Sunbury. They lived in Kratzerville, where Clark worked in a sawmill. Most of the men spoke Dutch and Clark had a hard time understanding them. Mossie tried to help him understand the language.
They moved to Sunbury where Clark was born. They lived in New York where they farmed for a period of time. They return to PA and moved to Northumberland in time for the twins to be born. They moved to Island Park for awhile and then back to Northumberland. Their last home was a 21 acre farm in RD #2, Black Mill Road, Sunbury.
