Researcher's notes

This coffin plate for Martha M Clark 1846 ~ 1905 was found in Boston, Mass USA. Submited by Thomas Roberts. Thanks Thomas.

I went and had a hunt forMartha M Clark 1846 ~ 1905 in the 1900 United States Federal Census on Ancestry.com. I found several individuals of interest as you can see below. I think the Martha M Clark in Plymouth, Grafton, New Hampshire is the Martha we are looking for but it will take a little more work to say for sure.
