Charles Clark was a very successful partner in the Bonanza gold mine with James Divoll and Joseph Bray. On July 10, 1883 he married Julia Mock. He was 58 and she was 24. They had one daughter, Harriet, on July 28, 1884. After the death of Clark, Julia married George Nicol, who became a Superior Court Judge. Julia died in San Francisco on February 10, 1944 and Harriet died around 1934. Both Julia and Harriet are interred in the Columbarium in San Francisco.
Union Democrat, Aug 15, 1885....Soon after the big strike he sold his portion of the mine to Divoll and quit work, having secured a compentency to carry him through life. A little over two years ago he married Miss Julia Mock and since has lived in a quiet, unpretentious way. Though not apparently physically strong, in latter years he seemed in good health and no one looked for his death. Since the burning of Divoll's flour mill, he brooded over the terrible death which overtook Jacob Bray, brother of Joseph, which made a deep impression on his mind...After a lifetime of hard work he was allowed but a brief period to enjoy the satisfaction of having achieved a fortune...He leaves a young widow and an infant child.

Inscription

All flesh is as grass, and all the glory
Of man as the flower of grass,
The grass withereth and the flower thereof
Falleth away but the word of the Lord
Endureth forever
