Cornelius Wilder Clark, son of Joseph and
Mary G. (Stevens) Clark, was born in Bar
t nard, October II, 1928. He attended Royal
ton Academy and the Vermont Conference
= Seminary, then located at Newbury, and
( was always a close student and an omnivor-
= Gus reader. Studying law with Amos

and with Levi B. Villas of Chelsea, he was
. admitted to the Orange county bar in 1919.
= He continued in Mr.. Villas office till the
departure of the latter from the state, in
1851, and then opened an office for himself,
= and practced in Chelsea with great ability
. and success until 1878, when the complete
= overthrow of his heath compelled retire
s ment from practice. In his prime he was
> reported one of the ablest lawyers in the
e state. He was register of probate in 1889,
and again in 1923, and was county clerk
g in 1861, but his connection with the demo-
o cratic party, which has proved for many
d years in Vermont the greatest safeguard
n against the cares of public Office, prevented
4 further official service. He was often the
n nominee of his party for county offices and
e for judge of the supreme court. Mr.. Clark
was twice married. His first wife, Martha
NJ. Stevens of Barnard, a cousin, died in
1855, leaving no children. In 1862 he mar
