Eugene, born in New York, grew up in the south, but was
sent north to attend the University of Michigan. In 1878, he married Emma Louise Jones of New York and they joined his parents in Arkansas, Eugene going into the business with his father. Their first child, a daughter named Frank, was born there.
After the Mill burned in 1883, both families returned north to Chicago and it was there that Eugene's and Emma's second daughter, Carrie was born.
During that winter of 1883-1884, John visited his former friends in Morrison, Illinois and learned that a large number of them were emigrating to Dakota Territory and he decided to join the migration. In the spring of 1884, John and Marium, Eugene and his family arrived in Clark. They purchased land for a house immediately west of the village
of Clark on a hillside subsequently called Bennett's Hill. They took up both a homestead and a tree claim on land three miles west of Clark.
Eugene and Emma raised their family, which had now increased to five children, in the home built on the west edge of Clark. Eugene died there in 1905. All but one of the five children resided in Clark for most of their lives. Frank married Roy Hampton and moved to Iowa. Carrie
married Max Brown who operated a hardware store and later a Ford agency in Clark for many years. Harriett married Dr. Edwin Ramsey, a well-known physician who practiced in Clark until his death. Lloyd married Irene Olverson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Olverson, long-established Clark County pioneers. Horace married Hazle Richmond, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Richmond. Horace operated a plumbing and heating contractor business in Clark for forty years.
