Adam is censused twice in 1870, once in Winnemucca (12 July 1870) and once in Virginia City (9 July 1870). Both times he is with his mother, stepfather, and two sisters Jane/Jennie and Carrie. In Winnemucca his stepfather, James Cooper, is a hotelkeeper. In Virginia City, he is a tinner (somewhat unclear). Jane/Jennie is at school in one and a school teacher in the other. His sisters' POB in New York; in one location and Iowa in the other. Adam's POB is Missouri in both.
Adam is in the 1878 Virginia City directory as a miner at the Justice Mine. (See a photo of the mine during that period at the website of the Western Nevada Historic Photo Collection.)
Adam was shot in the thigh by Hugh J. Brady on 11 April 1879. He had seemed to be improving, but about ten days later developed "lockjaw" and died on 23 April. (Modern cause of death: tetanus.)
Hugh Brady was tried and acquitted of murder. Modern medicine suggests that given a dirty bullet and the lack of antibiotics, Clark's death was certainly caused by the wound and not by "indiscretion of the deceased."
