Review for ErrorDescription
Mr. and Mrs. Clack at home with the old United Brethren Church in the background, Oregon City. Mr. Clack was a minister for the church.
*Verify* due to possibly inaccurate information. In 1910, according to the census, Frederick (1853-1918) and Helen Babbitt Clack (1856-) lived at 816 Taylor Street. However, the house in the image looks by shape and orientation to the church to be at 716 Taylor (see attached 1911 Sanborn). In 1917, the Clacks lived at 5604 71st SE in Portland (Portland Directory). Fred died in 1918 at 3320-54 Street SE of "Lombar pneumonia." According to the death certificate, the Clacks had lived in Portland for two years. By the 1920 census, Helen was a servant in the Alva Melton home in PDX at 435 Marguerite Ave. By the 1930 census, Helen was an inmate in the Hollenbeck Home for the Aged in Los Angeles (an interesting note. The Home still exists at the same address, 573 South Boyle Avenue. Now called Hollenbeck Palms, it looks beautiful). The Clacks were married on the 7th of April 1880 in Dorr, Allegan, Michigan.
In 1910, M.W. (maybe N?) W. McIntire McCoy (59) and her daughter Elva (20) (1889-1958) or Elve lived at 716 Taylor Street and seem to have owned the home. M.W. gave birth to three children, and as of 1910, they had all survived. Elve married William Franklin Carter Ribbel (1884)on November 7th, 1918, and lived at 8th and Pierce. The house number was not included in the 1920 census. In the 1920 census, Nancy McCoy (1852-1940) lived with her daughter Elva and was "mother-in-law" to the head of the household. In 1918 Carter registered for the draft and lived at 1713 8th Street, Oregon City. The house was built in 1910. By 1930 Elva and family moved to West Linn.
Maybe (Elve later married Frank J. Martinjak and died of liver cirrhosis at 8524 N. Dwight St. PDX in 1958. Father Jake, Mother Nancy W. McIntyre.)Other Names and Numbers
