Emma Leora Clark was the eldest of nine children born to Niles Martin Clark and Lizzie Matilda Tooker of East Haddam, CT.
Shortly after my grandfather Herbert Francis Clarke was born, his eldest sister Emma left the Clark home in East Haddam to marry Anthony Stoll, a British immigrant whose family had lived in Bushwick Brooklyn upon arrival in the New World, but upon doctor's orders that Anthony's father move to the country as the air would be better for his poor health (stemming from lead poisoning by inhaling paint fumes), they had sailed up the Connecticut River and settled in Killingworth, to live in a house that a lawyer friend of the family had found for them. Anthony was a farmer, and later owned a gas station, and worked as a mechanic for the Town of Ulster, but he was also reputed to have been quite a tap dancer. He and Emma married in 1908 and settled in Chester, Connecticut for a few years before moving to Rosendale Town, near Kingston New York. They later lived on Albany Avenue in Ulster Town, New York.
ANTHONY AND EMMA STOLL
ANTHONY AND EMMA STOLL (1913)
Anthony & Emma had six children, and eight grandchildren:
1. Fanny Stoll (1909-1995) married her 2nd cousin, Richard Snow. She worked as a sales girl at the Woolworth five and dime in Kingston, but later moved to Richmond, California, to be closer to her aunt Ethel Clark-Adams. She had two sons (Richard Jr. and Albert). Albert married Doris Cogswell and had four children, settling in Kingston.
2. Emma Stoll (1914-??) may be the same Emma R. Stoll who was a prisoner at the Monroe County Penitentiary in New York for the 1935-1940 Census. I don't believe she was ever married, and I cannot locate her in the 1950 Census. But the 1925 NY Census does not include Emma at all, so I'm inclined to believe she may have actually died after the 1920 U.S. Census.
3. Anthony Stoll Jr. (1915-1959) wasn't married at the 1940 Census, nor by the 1950 Census, where was living with his father, still single, and working as an auto mechanic. He was first VP of Stoll's Enterprise, Inc.
4. Edward Stoll (1918-2009), born on New Year's Day, married Elsie Haertling who had two daughters from a prior marriage. Edward and Elsie had no kids of their own. He worked as a pipe fitter at a service station, and eventually moved to Palm Beach, FL.
5. Vincent Stoll (1919-1962) married Roland Jacques from Fort Kent, whose parents were from Connecticut. They had three children, and settled in Ulster Town, NY, where he worked as part owner of a gas station.
6. Henry Stoll (1922-1979) fought in WWII, married Dorothy Sheeley, and had three children. Like the rest of the family, he worked in a service station.
Here is a picture taken in 1931, at Anthony's parents' 50th wedding anniversary:
Emma is seated to the far left, wearing glasses (she is the only obvious Clark in the picture-I think she sticks out like a sore thumb!)...and Emma's daughter Fanny Stoll Snow is seated to the far right, wearing a broach, and her hands folded in her lap. In addition to eldest brother, Anthony Jr (located in the back row, first one one left that's in front of the fireplace), three of her little brothers are sitting at her feet (Harry, Edward, and Vincent). You can tell Edward is a relative of the Clarks....see how he's giving the photographer the finger? haha. Those I think are the only Clark blood relatives of ours in this picture. The rest of them are all Stolls, Anthony's extended family.
Most of the Stolls are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Kingston.
