Professor Seton Taylor Clark
These 2 pictures were sent to me by Beulah Clark the granddaughter of Seton (daughter of LeCompton).
Seton Taylor Clark was the son of Henry Blanton Clark and Martha Brown.
He was born in Elmwood, Tennessee in 1845. He got his education in Granville, Tennessee
and Forrest Home College near Louisville, Kentucky. He married in 1868 to Tennessee Jane
"Tennie" Apple, daughter of Jackson Carroll Apple and Mary Jane Holford.
Seton and Tennie were the parents of three children:

Seton taught for 4 years at Granville then in Snow Creek. He built the Elmwood Institute in 1875.
He ran the institue for over 15 years then took over the Dixon Springs Academy.
Seton and Tennie and LeCompton Clark
This picture is Seton and Tennie and she is supposedly holding LeCompton as an infant. So this must
have been taken in 1869. I appologize for the quality. If anyone has a better copy please send it
to me at the above email address.
