OBITUARY.

Robert w. Clark died at his home in Cas-
tine March 9th, at the advanced age of
SO years, month, 10 days. Mr.. Clark was
born in Penobscot in 1918. At the age of
twelve he went to Castine and has since re-
sided there. He was twice married His
first wife was Martha S. Stuart, by whom he
had three children, two of whom survive
him-Phebe4 A. Ward of Belfast, Maine,
and Martha S. Maker of Cutler, Maine.
His second wife was Susan L. Raynes of
Deer Isle, by whom he had five children, two
of who now survive him-Mrs. Fannie
O'Connell of Belfast, Maine, and Alfred w.
Clark of Castine. He leaves one broth
er, John Clark of Castine, the last of
large family. Mr.. Clark was man of
serene temper and good man in the best
sense of the word. He was a faithful
worker, true friend, man of unblemished
character, active in the discharge of every
duty, and faithful husband and an amiable
and wise father. These characteristics of
his manhood were familiar to all who were
brought within the influence of his sunny
and gracious nature. One can but feel that
the life of many friend and neighbor who
yet live to mourn his departure would have
been colder and a harder lot but for the
gentle heritage of his example, his helpful
ness, and his cheerful courage amid the
storms and stress of life. He was never so
weary, or so engrossed in his own cares for
the support and protection of his large
family, as to forget the little amenities
which sweeten the daily intercourse, whether
at home or abroad. He was indeed of those
who let their light shine a clear flame, to
help and cheer whom he could, when he
could, and all he could. The consolation of
a liberal Christian faith abode with him
dispelling many a cloud of sorrow, and en-
abling him in lie as in death to overcome
many deep and sad experiences, as every
noble heart must know. The family which
he raised in honor now rise up to honor
him, and are comforted greatly in the
thought that all that wisdom, skill and low
ing kindness could do to smooth his few re-
naming days on earth had been done, and
with such gracious, tender affection had
made his home-going an experience to be
remembered with gratitude and inward
Thanksgiving. He sleeps to wake; wake to
the fuller life, where the hearts best wishes,
and souls pure honor are the title deeds
to grander future, and the best prepara-
tion for the Heaven he longed for and sure
ly found. The funeral services were held
at his late home Tuesday at . PM, conduct
ed by Rev. H. II. Woude. Bangor papers
