He was 16 years old when he ran away from home in Texas, wanting to come West. It was 1900, & he was on his way to California, but stopped in Globe and liked it, decided to stay. He was just a kid, eager to learn, smart. He was befriended by Globe's future governor, George W.P. Hunt. But young Yulie was an enterprising guy, found work as a laborer in Globe, did any kind of work, to learn. He was in Bisbee with friends when he met Carrie Ellen Finnigan, and fell in love. They courted, married in 1906, and made their home in Globe. Ten children: Dorothy Clark, who later married Viko Lubich; Ethel May, later Henderson; Betty, later Betty Loyd, who remained in Globe. The other children went to, married, lived in California: John, Leslie, Rita, Emma Clark, are now deceased. Jannie, Anita & Josephine live in California. Yulee was a skillful plasterer, a tradesman. He was hired for his skills in helping construct homes or businesses in Sonora, Arizona or in Ray, Arizona, and in the Globe-Miami area. In the early days of their marriage, Yulie & his wife, Carrie, would rent a nice buggy, go out on a picnic in Miami, hunt quail for dinner. Times were different then. In his later years,Yulie Clark worked as a rancher, a cattleman, a railroad worker, & drove mule teams to haul ore from the Drake Mine over the Pinals. He trained ponies & tended mules for the Old Dominion Mine. The family later lived in the area known as Mackey's Camp, just west of the outskirts of Miami. But Yulie and Carrie homesteaded at the Top of the World, adjoining Craig's Ranch nearby. He and Carrie loved Globe-Miami, & were like the their frontier: full of life and energy and were ready to experience whatever came their way in the rough and tough mining towns of Globe-Miami......(Source: The History of Globe, Arizona.
