boro's oldest and most successful

older brother in the stone block on
the present site of a. V, Cox's store.

yet he took interest in the growth of
the community and had its welfare at
heart Mr.. Clark was probably the
oldest Odd Fellow in Vermont and had
been a member of Wantastiquet lodge

always took an interest in the growth
of the order and was the last survivor
of the earliest associate members. .
Mr. Clark S wife, who was Sarah

F.. L. Perry and Charles A. Clark.
