We take the following from the
Daily Oregonjan of JulyS. The many
friends of Mr.. George Clarke were
y
ing the announcement that he had
passed away from earthly scenes. AL
though Mr.. Clarke had been quite ill
for a week, but comparatively few
knew of it, and hence the great sur
prise experienced on hearing of his
death. About week ago Mr.. Clarke,
while moving into his new house, con-
tracted severe cold. The cold set
tied in one side and brought on Sc
we're attack of pleurisy. Notwithstand-
ing constant and skillful medical at
tendance, he continued to grow worse
until death released him from pain yes
terday at 80 o'clock. Mr.. Clarke
was in the 43d year of his age. He was
native OF Vermont. About sixteen
years ago deceased came to Portland,
and from that time up to within a
year past has been engaged in the dry
goods business. He was for many
years associated in business with Messrs
V. Cook and NJ. w. Henderson, under
the old and familiar firm, name of
Clarke, Henderson & Cooke" Sew
eral years ago Mr.. Cook retired from
the firm, and the business was contin-
ued under the name of D." Clarke & Hen
derson." About a year ago Mr.. Clarke
retired from business. The deceased
was a very social, convivis gentleman,
a man of excellent business qualifica-
tions, and upright and honorable in
his dealings with his fellowmen. He
was member of Vigilance Hook and
Ladder company No. /. Yesterday
the flags were displayed at half mast
over the different engine houses in re-
spect to the memory of the departed.
A loving and devoted wife and several
