Clark was married twice. His first wife was Katherine Louise «Kate» Stauffer (1844 Pennsylvania – 1893 New York).

Together, they had seven children:

• Mary Joaquina Clark (1870 – 1939), m. Everett Mallory Culver, Charles Potter Kling, and Marius de Brabant

William Clark donated 135 acres to the Girl Scouts in honor of his daughter, Louise Amelia Andrée, who died aged 16 of meningitis and had been very happy there. The Girl Scout camp in Briarcliff Manor was named Camp Andree Clark.

William Andrews Clark Jr.

Clark’s son, William Andrews Clark Jr., founder of the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1919, left his library of rare books and manuscripts to the regents of the University of California, Los Angeles. Today, the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library specializes in English literature and history from 1641 to 1800, materials related to Oscar Wilde and his associates, and fine printing.

Huguette Marcelle Clark

Huguette (pronounced: oo-GETT), born in Paris, France in June 1906, was known as a reclusive heiress and was the youngest child of Clark with his second wife, Anna Eugenia La Chapelle. She married once, but divorced less than a year later. She led a reclusive life thereafter, communicating very little with the public including her extended family. She lived in three magnificent apartments, with a total of 42 rooms, on New York’s Fifth Avenue at 72nd Street, overlooking Central Park. In 1991, she moved out of her apartment in New York and for the remainder of her life, voluntarily lived in various New York City hospitals.

In February 2010, she became the subject of a series of reports on msnbc.com after it was reported that the caretakers of her three residences (including a $24 million estate in Connecticut, a sprawling seaside estate in Santa Barbara, California and her Fifth Avenue apartments valued at $100 million) had not seen her in decades. These articles were the basis for the 2013 bestselling book Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune. by investigative reporter Bill Dedman.

Her final residence was Beth Israel Medical Center, where she died on the morning of May 24, 2011, age 104. Huguette’s extraordinary collection of arts and antiquities were consigned to go on the auction block at Christie’s in June 2014, over three years after her death.

Walter Clark

Clark’s nephew, Walter Miller Clark, son of James Ross and Miriam Augusta (Evans) Clark, along with Walter’s wife, Virginia (McDowell) Clark, were passengers on the RMS Titanic. He was among the 1,514 who died on April 15, 1912 after the ship struck an iceberg at 2:20 a.m. She survived and arrived in New York City a widow. Some of Mr. Clark’s personal items were retrieved during an expedition to the site of the sinking in 1994 in the debris field. They were identified by engraved initials. They included shaving soap, toiletry items, cuff links, and gambling chips. Walter’s wife, Virginia, was rescued by the RMS Carpathia.
