| Notes |
- "Pa Stark" was well versed in Scottish tunes and could sing them in Gaelic. When Thomas actually moved to Michigan is unclear, but he was in Lake Otsego, Michigan in 1888 when his daughter, Margaret, was born there. His naturalization papers,
The Certificate of Citizenship, October 30, 1896, places him in Bay City at about the time he and His father-in-law, Andrew Telfer, started building the house at 600 N. Dewitt St. in Bay City. This house was occupied by the Telfer family
upstairs, and the Stark family downstairs. The property had a barn which housed 2 or 3 cows which provided milk, chickens, which provided meat and eggs, and occasionally a pig. There were also some fruit trees, of which a plum and pear tree
each still remain. The Bay City Directory lists Thomas as a Sawyer in 1910, residing at 600 N. Dewitt. In 1915, he is listed as a carpenter, and in 1920, his employment was as a custodian at the Wenona School, where he remained for many years.
Thomas died in his home after a lingering illness. His funeral was held at 600 N. Dewitt, one of many in that home from 1922 to 1938.
