- An article in the Leavenworth Bulletin on May 18, 1869 p.2
describes:
"The notorious George W. Clarke had gotten an appointment from Mr. Buchanan as Register of the Land Office, holding it in the name of his brother in-law, --Doak, of Butler, Mo. He moved here with his family.
Gov. Ransom, of Michigan, having been appointed Receiver of the Land Office moved here also with his family, together with his son in-law, Geo. S. Clark and family." ... "An appeal was made to Mr. Buchanan to remove Clark[e] or Doak, which was dually answered by his making him a purser in the Navy. He has since been a quartermaster in the rebel army, and is reported to be a defaulter to a large amount."
