Josiah Clark was born in Georgia in March 1842 and listed in the 1899 Hot Springs (Garland County, Arkansas) City Directory as a practicing lawyer. In 1901, Clark was listed as speaker at a program of the Wonder State Bar Association. He may have gone to Oklahoma after that time, and then returned, as someone with the same name is mentioned in a biography of that period as having moved from Oklahoma to Pine Bluff about 1909. As of 1900, he had a daughter named Floy, born July 1882 in Arkansas. Nothing more is known about him.
