CLARK, Josephine Augusta (Waterbury CT)

JOSEPHINE AUGUSTA CLARK

Identification on photo: Josephine (Josie) Augusta Clark, 1 yr 2 mo
Photo taken: Bronson Studio, Waterbury Conn. circa 1915-1920
Purchased: 2018 Aug Madison-Bouckville Antiques Week

I found more than one Josephine Clark living in New Haven County, CT at around the correct time period. But I believe the correct one is this one:

1930 CENSUS > Connecticut > New Haven > Prospect
CLARK, Clifford P., 46, born in CT of MA parents, farmer (son of Halsey Clark)
CLARK, Clarabel (Shepard), 43, born in CT of CT  parents
CLARK, Josephine, 14, born in CT (born 1-Sep-1915)
CLARK, Alfred, 9, born in CT
CLARK, Gertrude, 3, born in CT

Interestingly, Clifford P. Clark is a son of Halsey Steel Clark, whose photo was found at the same sale and has already been researched and sent home to a relative.

1940 CENSUS > Connecticut > New Haven > Prospect
CLARK, Clifford, 56, woodchopper on a farm
CLARK, Claribel, 53
CLARK, Josephine, 24, clerical work at brass mill
CLARK, Alfred, 19, milk salesman at dairy
CLARK, Gertrude, 13
CLARK, Halsey S., father, 85, farmer

Josephine married Peter A. Collins, and died 14 Sep 2016 Naugatuck CT, buried in Prospect CT. I see no evidence of direct descendants.

Survived at the time by her younger sister Gertrude and her family.
