In case you don't know, W.H. Gable was William H. Gable, who was Clark's father. Clark Gable was born in Cadiz, Ohio, on February 1, 1901. When he was ten months old, Gable's mother died, probably of an aggressive brain tumor. In April 1903, Gable's father Will married Jennie Dunlap, whose family came from the small neighboring Ohio town of Hopedale.
