1906 Northbridge City Directory
Hugh Clark, machinist, W. M. W., home 15 High, Whitinsville
7 other Clarks in Whitinsville, including 2 that work at the same place: John J and Robert

1911
Hugh, machinist, W M W, home 10 D St, Whitinsville

next book at ancestry is 1926 and we know he is in Providence by then.
------
W M W could be Whitin Machine Works, a cotton machinery manufacturer listed in the front of the directory

if so, google "whitin machine works, whitinsville ma" for lots of results, including
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitin_Machine_Works

the building is still there. the picture looks familiar. I know I have been past it, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention to anything but how to get where I was going.

Thanks for all that.  I didn't realize he moved to Rhode Island.  I also like the information on his descendants too.  Are there any living descendants still living in Providence Rhode Island?
