OBITUARY.
SAMUEL CLARK.
After long illness death came as
release to Samuel Clark at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. j. D. Whittet, Satur-
day morning, June Is. Since his sudden
break down during the fall he has not
been able to get out except on one or
two occasions and was such sufferer
that he was ready to 60. In all his long
life this was really the only sickness he
had.
Samuel Clark was born May Is, 1922,
in Yorkshire, England; son of James and
Judith Clark. He came to America in
1912, landing in New York on July 4.
! Coming direct to Albion he settled on
the Prairie, being the first Englishman
there. Six years later his parents joined
him and made their home on the farm
1 with him until the death of his father in
1869. His mother died in 1885. In 1845
he was married to Ruth Marsden, a ma
|
made their home in Albion until the
death of his wife in 1882 after which he
came to Edgerton and made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. j. d. Whittet.
| They had seven children, five of whom
died in infancy; there were two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. j. D. Whittet and Martha,
who married D. I. Wilson, and died in
1886. He was the last of his family and,
with the execution of his daughter. who
was constantly by his side during this
last sickness, he felt that he was alone.
New friends, new faces, came and went,
but the familiar ones of his youth and
early manhood had passed on. Mr..
Clark made two visits to his old home
across the water and talked of going
again until this sickness overlook him.
He was thrifty farmer and a substan-
tial, loyal citizen. He did his share in
the development of the township in
which he settled, holding positions of
responsibility and honor. For twelve
years he was justice of the peace and
was also member of the township board
and township treasurer. He was regu-
lar attendant at church and held princi-
Piles Of the highest.
Funeral services were held from the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Whittet on
Monday afternoon, June II, and large
number of people followed to the place
of interment at Albion Prairie. Thus
one by one those, who by toll and pa
tience subdued the country in the ear
lier days, are passing on. But their
work has not passed away The infu-
ence for good of such men as Mr.. Clark
abides.
