Who was William A. Clark?

I am not going to answer this question.  It would take to long, there is too much rumor and mystery and I don't really know anyway.  But his daughter died yesterday and prolonged the mystery.  This is a great human interest story if you just follow it a little bit.  A woman dies at age 104 in 2011 and the most recent photo of her was taken in 1933, 78 years ago.  I will put in a paragraph about her father, William A. Clark and then a link to the rest of the story. 

Anna Clark and her daughter Huguette took up residence in the Fifth Avenue apartment in 1927, taking the entire 12th floor, which had been marketed as "the finest apartment in the world." Anna Eugenia La Chappelle had been the teenage ward who became the mistress and then second wife of the widower U.S. senator, who hid her away in Paris. They supposedly married in 1901 in France, though it wasn't announced until 1904 and no record of the marriage has been produced. Anna was 23, younger than the four children from his first marriage, and William was 62, older than his mother-in-law. The couple had two daughters, Andrée in 1902 in Spain, and Huguette in Paris on June 9, 1906.


Here is also a link to some videos where Huguette was featured on the Today Show.
