The son, who often went by the name C. Howard Clark, built his own mansion near his father's house in West Philadelphia, at 4220 Spruce Street, on the southwest corner of 42nd Street. He later moved to "Chestnutwold Farm" at Valley Forge and Dorset roads in Devon, Pennsylvania, where he built a house in 1911 on a century-old 57-acre estate that he bought from Christopher Fallon, which he bought from the Perkins family.[2] The Clarks sold the estate in 1923 for $250,000 ($4,471,000 today[3]) to Dorothy E. Cadwalader.[4]
He was survived by his wife, Eleanor D. Head Clark Jr., who died August 29, 1930, at her summer home in Northeast Harbor, Maine, and a son, Clarence H. Clark III (-1943).[6] Clark III, whose own financial partnership, Kendrick & Co., failed in 1922, was a member of the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry,[7] with which he served during World War I as a captain in the 310th Field Artillery. Clark III married Eleanor Townsend Clark (1899-1981), with whom he had two daughters, including Eleanor Yerkes, and a son, Clarence H. Clark IV,[8] who served in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Clark IV, husband of Jean E. Clark, had a son, Clarence H. Clark V,[9] and a daughter, Amy Clark (d. 2012). Clark V and his wife Kathleen had a son, Chip, and a daughter, Betsy.[9]
