Abstract
"Champ Clark, christened James Beauchamp Clark, was born in a Kentucky farm cottage on March 7, 1850, in the town of Lawrenceburgh, some sixty-odd miles from Louisville. His was a typical pioneer home, a small structure with low ceilings and rough clapboard finishings. His father, John Hampton Clark, was a New Englander who had migrated to Kentucky. Although a member of a distinguished family, John Clark had been overcome by adversity, and occupied a relatively humble position in life. A. wagon-maker by profession., he was also a dentist, a singing master, and a student of current affairs. Champ Clark's mother, Aletha Jane Beauchamp, a daughter of one of Kentucky's prominent jurists, died at an early age, leaving two children, Champ and Elizabeth."--Page 1.
