William Andrews Clark, Sr. Subseries 2. 1879-1986

Scope and Contents

Photographs, speeches, and other documents related to William Andrews Clark, Sr. and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. There is very little original material about WAC, Sr. held by the Clark Library; most of the material gathered here consists of copies of secondary sources and copies of papers held by other institutions.

Arrangement

Organized into 4 subgroups: Subgroup 1. Photographs and Portraits; Subgroup 2. Corcoran Gallery of Art; Subgroup 3. Speeches and Other Materials; Subgroup 4. Secondary Source Materials.

Biographical / Historical

William Andrews Clark, Sr. was born in 1839 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and later lived in Iowa, where he taught school and studied law at Iowa Wesleyan College. During the Montana gold rush in the 1860s, he headed west where he first tried placer mining, and then chose to become a trader, provisioning miners across the state. He later opened a bank in Deer Lodge, Montana and made a fortune through reposessing mining claims when their owners defaulted on their bank loans. As he accumulated more mining holdings in Montana, particularly in Butte, he chose to enroll for a year of study at the Columbia University School of Mines. In addition to operating mines and smelters, Clark also diversified into railroads (including the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad), newspapers, and lumber, in addition to the Los Alamitos Sugar Corporation in Los Angeles and United Verde copper mine in Arizona. Clark served one term as a US Senator from Montana from 1901-1907, though the bribery scheme that bought him his seat colored much of his time in office. After leaving the Senate, Clark largely lived in New York City, where he accumulated a large collection of French art.
Clark's first wife, Katherine Stauffer, was also born in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and after the births of their seven children, lived the majority of the rest of her life in France. She died in 1893. Clark's second wife, Anna Eugenia La Chapelle (1878-1963) had been a teenager in Butte when she met Clark, and he paid for her to study music in Europe. Their two daughters, Andree (1902-1919) and Huguette (1906-2011), were both born in Europe and largely raised in New York City.
Clark Sr. died in New York City in 1925.

Alice G. McManus Clark (1884-1918) Subgroup 2. ca. 1907-1918

Biographical Note

Alice Genevieve McManus, was born July 22, 1882 in Virginia City, Nevada (some records give Alice's birthdate as 1884, but based on the 1900 census and her 1902 marriage record, 1882 or 1883 appear to be more accurate) to Catherine Hayes McManus and Andrew McManus. By 1896, Alice was already publicly recognized for her beauty and poise: Nevada newspapers from the time record her election by a poll of students as a "Venus." By 1902, Alice was 19 years old and living in Butte, Montana where she worked as a telephone operator. In that year, she eloped in Butte with divorcé and fellow Virginia City native Marco J. Medin. Marco was a successful merchant in Butte and Alice quickly became a popular figure in Butte social life, as evidence by the frequent mentions of her and her clothing in Butte-area newspapers. After a November 1906 divorce from Marco, Alice and William Andrews Clark, Jr. were married May 1907 in Butte at the home of one of Alice's good friend, Grace McStay Carnochan. The Clarks moved to Los Angeles in 1908, and in 1910, purchased of what was then called the McCan estate at 2205 West Adams Boulevard - the same parcel the Clark Library occupies today. In addition to becoming socially active in Los Angeles, Alice also became involved in charity work in the city, especially at the YWCA, and throughout World War I, she was deeply involved in Red Cross fundraising and other efforts related to child refugees. Alice McManus Clark died November 17, 1918, at the age of 34, after being diagnosed with colon cancer 8 months earlier.

Cora Edgerton Sanders (1872-1964) Subgroup 1. 1880-1947

Biographical Note

Cora Sanders was born in Helena, Montana in 1872 to Junius G. Sanders and Alfaretta Rumley Sanders. As a child, she went by Cora Belle Sanders, but as an adult, she changed her middle name to Edgerton. Her father's family was prominent in Montana politics (her uncle Wilbur Fisk Sanders and great-uncle Sidney Edgerton both served as governors), and her father was a Civil War and Spanish-American War veteran, who worked as a merchant, an army paymaster, and a federal marshal at various points in his life. Cora was one of 6 female graduates in the Helena High School class of 1891, and did further study in Germany from 1891-1893. She worked as a school teacher in various small towns in Montana, and moved to Butte around 1898, where she was in the same social circles as William Andrews Clark, Jr. and his brother C.W. Clark. In 1910, Sanders moved to Los Angeles with the Clarks as the governess to William Andrews Clark, III, and after Tertius was sent to boarding school on the east coast, it appears Cora continued to work for and travel with the Clarks as a secretary. In the 1920s, Cora took on increasing responsibility as an assistant librarian for Clark's collection. Her niece, Adelyn Sutphen, also worked at the library, and her sister Ellen Sanders Sutphen worked as a secretary to the Los Angeles Philharmonic. After William Andrews Clark, Jr.'s death, Sanders remained the curator of the Clark Library until 1943. She died in 1964 in Long Beach, California.

Harrison Post (ca. 1896-1946) Subgroup 3. 1920-1949

Biographical Note

Harrison Post was born Albert Weis Harrison likely in New York in about 1897, and had a somewhat itinerant childhood, both before and after his parents separated when he was a small child. He spent his teenage years largely in the Sacramento, California area with his father. By 1919, he was going by the name Harrison Post and was working at Marsh & Company in San Francisco, where he met William Andrews Clark, Jr. who had come into the store as a customer. Post soon moved to Los Angeles to be with Clark, and later worked at the library as an assistant librarian, in addition to decorating the interiors of the library and Clark residence. By the 1930s, Clark and Post's romance had cooled but they remained close friends, and at Clark's death, Post inherited a substantial amount of money. Post was incapacitated by a long illness at the time of Clark's death and nearly all of his money and possessions were liquidated by his sister Gladys, who took conservatorship over him. In 1938, Post traveled to Norway with a former nurse and was later interned in a POW camp during World War II. At the end of the war, he returned to the US and died in San Francisco in 1946.

George John Palé (1916-1973) Subgroup 4. 1934

Biographical / Historical

George John Palé was born March 11, 1916 in San Francisco, to Martha Fauré and Paul Palé. Martha had immigrated to the US in 1909 from France, and Paul was the California-born son of French immigrants. After they divorced in 1925, Martha began working as a housekeeper for William Andrews Clark, Jr. in Los Angeles. Clark provided for George's upbringing, including violin lessons and enrollment in St. John's Military Academy. At Clark's death in 1934, attorney's alleged Clark was in the process of adopting the teenager (there is no extant evidence that this was actually the case), and George, at 18 years old, was the beneficiary of the largest amount from the Clark estate.
George and his first wife, Helen Bajus, met at a party given by Clark for the members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and their families. George attended as one of Clark's guests, while Helen attended with her father, who was a trombonist in the orchestra. They married in 1935 and had 5 children: Joan, Nancy, Clark, Ronald, and Susan.
During World War II, Palé served in the US Army in the South Pacific, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war, he returned to Los Angeles, and owned several different businesses.
He divorced Helen in 1949 and moved with their 5 children to Maricopa County, Arizona, where he focused on agriculture, growing cotton and later, citrus. He married his second wife, Edna Nasser Palé soon after his divorce, and together, they had another daughter, Teresa. Palé served as a State Representative for Maricopa County from 1966 to 1970 and was responsible for introducting a bill to make the Bola tie the official Arizona state neckwear (this bill passed in 1971). He was also instrumental in a law called "The Pink Cadillac Tax," which imposed additional taxes on cars and luxury items purchased in other states by Arizona residents.
George John Palé died in Arizona on April 12, 1973, at the age of 57.
