Editing Lloyd C. Stark (section)

==Family life==
Lloyd Stark was part of a family rather prominent in Missouri and was active with his brother Paul in the then family-owned business Stark Brothers' Nursery (the oldest nursery in America and at one time the largest in the world). The nursery had popularized the [[Golden Delicious]] apple.

Stark married Margaret Pearson Stickney of [[Baltimore]] in 1908. Together they had sons Lloyd Stickney and John Wingate Stark. Margaret died in 1930. Stark then married Katherine Lemoine Perkins in 1931. They had two daughters, Mary Murray Spottswood and Katherine Lemoine Stark.<ref name=Papers />

Stark's cousin, [[Charles Stark Draper]], was a prominent inventor. The uncle of Lloyd Stark and Charles Stark Draper, state representative, James O. Stark was a prominent supporter and adviser of presidential contender and Speaker of the House, [[Champ Clark]] (despite this connection, Clark's son [[Bennett Champ Clark|Bennett]], Missouri's other Senator, crucially supported Truman in 1940) - and the husband of the niece of Republican anti-slavery activist [[Elihu Washburne]].

Stark's home at Louisiana from 1915 to 1940 was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1987 as the [[Gov. Lloyd Crow Stark House and Carriage House]].<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref><ref name="DNR">{{cite web| url =http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/nps-nr/87002142.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Gov.
