| Note | Our information for Josie Allen Vrooman is incomplete. The Tuesday, January 28, 1941, edition of the Niagara Falls Gazette (of Niagara Falls, New York) has a story on page 12 telling of her marriage on Saturday January 25th to Arthur Andrew Tilton of Niagara Falls. She is described as the daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Wm. H. Vrooman of Queenston. She was given in marriage by her brother Harry C. Vrooman. She is evidently buried with her Vrooman family in Fairview Cemetery. There, she is shown as Josie A. Clark, 1916-1997, wife of M. Colin Clark, born 1920. Border crossing information makes it clear that Josie's second husband was McKenzie Colin Clark. He was born in Belleville, Ontario, on January 5, 1920. We do not so far have a date for their marriage, but his residence at the time of the 1951 border crossing was Niagara Falls, Ontario, and his wife is shown as Mrs. Josie Clark. |
