SURNAMES FOUND IN THIS BIOGRAPHY: BROWN; HUNTLEY; SAGE

P. B. Clark, of the firm of Huntley & Clark, Radersburg, came to
Virginia City in 1865, but passed on to Helena, mining in Trinity
Gulch four or five months; also at Elk Creek the same year, and
the year following, and afterward engaging in the stage business,
running the first stage from Helena to Bozeman. After being in
the stage business for several years in company with Mr. Huntley,
he purchased the stock farm of the Huntley and Clark, a few miles
below Radersburgh, on the Missouri river, commenced raising
thoroughbred horses and fine sheep, and so far has met with the 
most encouraging success.  The farm consists of 3,000 acres, is
well provided with all the comforts and conveniences for the
purpose for which it is intended, and is certainly a great credit
to the enterprise of its owners. Mr. Clark is a native of New
York, and was born in that state July 4, 1842. He is the son of
Gates and Luscina (Sage) Clark, his parents being native
Americans. At the age of thirteen years Mr. Clark went to
Pennsylvania, and after six months to Illinois, remaining about
the same length of time. He then crossed the plains by way of
Salt Lake City to California, and mined to some extent, though he
was principally interested in coaches and stage lines. Leaving
California in 1863, he went to Nevada, and from there to Idaho,
finally coming to Montana. In March, 1869, he was married to Miss
Tootie Brown, a native of Indiana, and resides in Radersburg.
They have two daughters, Rettie and Rena.
