AddRan Christian College Founded By Joseph, Addison & Randolph Clark
Little Known Facts According to Randolph's book, AddRan College was named by Addison in memory of his son AddRan. Addison believed, "This would be an inspiration to labor to make the name stand for something worthy," wrote Randolph. AddRan died at age three of diphtheria in Fort Worth about 1872. A marble slab in the Pioneer Rest Cemetery at Fort Worth is inscribed "AddRan." -Source: 2000 HOOD COUNTY TEXAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY; Hood County Texas Genealogical Society; From Reminiscences; Written by Randolph Clark; ~ Book Review by Virginia Hale ~
