To Whom It May concern
So awhile ago I was contacted by a lady in the US. She wanted to know if I was related to a Judson Clark who fought in the Civil War. I replied that I was. She told me that their Church received a lot of books from Estates. Inside a Bible (printed in the 1960s) was the Civil War Discharge papers for a Judson Clark. She offered them to my family free of charge.
Judson Clark was discharged in 1865. Four years later in 1869 he was killed (along with two others) by Indians while searching for Gold in Wyoming. One made made it out alive to tell his story to the US Cavalry. They went searching and found two of the bodies mutilated and scalped. Judson's body was never found and it was assumed he was taken alive and never heard from again.
