Thanks to Peter Morris for letting me know that Anna Clark was the mother of a major league base ball player, although he played in only one major league game. The Cincinnati Post article referenced in "Remembering with advantages," mentions that her son played for the "old Muldoons and later in the Southern League." Peter wrote about his efforts to research Ed Clark in his book Cracking Baseball's Cold Cases. According to the entry about Clark, he pitched in one major league game on July 4, 1886 for Philadelphia of the American Association. Post base ball, he served two tours in the army including one during the Spanish American War. Clark died in 1927 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
