Name used by Clark
No real story just that he was kind polite well mannered not rough and he went by the name of Mance never using his given Christian name, He was a travelling salesman and had lived in Tungamah for afew years. Someone might still know cause he boarded in the township and I am sure that the grocery general store run by Mrs Joyce in 1910 or early would know. My mother was born in 1911 and she had the For King and Country photo but when this came to light she had already passed.
