Clark, William Howard. The Bolivar Oral History Project. Through his paternal line, Clark is the great great grandson of blacksmith and freedman Thomas Cook Sr. and his wife, Lethia Perry. Cook’s blacksmith shop was the focus of an archeological excavation in 2021 (Bolivar Archeological Project). In this second of four interviews with the Bolivar Oral History Project, Clark takes his interviewers on a driving tour of Southeast Denton during which he talks about various points of interest, past and present, of the neighborhood. He recalls areas where, as a youth, he rode horses, crawfished, and swam. Clark points out the homes of past residents, including that of Coach Collins (Fred Moore High School) and the locations of former businesses. Places of interest include Oakwood Cemetery, Mt. Cavalry Church, Solomon Hill, Shacktown, People’s Funeral Home, and St. James AME Church.
