Electoral Roll information for Richard shows he arrived at Tara in October 1942 and was residing at Fry St, Tara by himself and he is listed again in 1949 at Fry St, Tara. Both show occupation as None.

Other Clarkes living in the Tara area at that time were Mervyn, Thelma, Mary, Allan, Lucy and Marjorie but there is no indication at this point in time that they may have been related.

The inscription on the headstone for Richard reads – In loving memory of Richard Clarke 1869-1949.

It appears someone cared enough about him to place a headstone on his grave.
