William O. Clark
Answers Deaths Cali

William o. Clark. for many years
one of the beet known and most
highly esteemed citizens Of this
county died at his home in Olympia
at 6 a. M; Thursday, Jan. Is, after
a long and painful illness. from
which most of his friends here had
supposed him to be recovering.
Over year ago he went under an
operation at Olympia and last
spring. accompanied by his wife
and daughter, he went to Rochester.
Minn., where he was again operated
upon by one of the famous Mayo
Bros, two of the most celebrated
surgeons in this country. The op-
GRAFTON was considered very success
full and Mr.. Clark improved so rap
idly that he was able to return to
his home after a few weeks and by
October he had nearly regained his
normal weight and had resumed his
duties as engineer in the state land
commissioners Office, responsible
position which he had filled with
the greatest credit for number Of
years.
Mr.. Clark was born in England
about IS years. ago. was educated
there and remained there until af-
ter his marriage, coming to this
country about twenty-five years ago.
After visiting various localities
on this coast they located on Orcas
Island. upon a fine tract of land
near West Sound most of which
they still own. He was elected
county auditor about ten years ago
and reelected two years later. His
fitness for the Office was so excep-
tional and his services so much ap-
preciated by the people of the
county that he might have been re-
elected indefinitely had the law per-
mitted. AS it was he was persuad-
ed to remain in charge for some
months as deputy after the election
of Fred E. Kirby, now postmaster
here, and he continued to serve in
that capacity untilhe was appointed
draughtslnan in the state land COM
mlssioners office through the inf1u-
ence of John L. Murray, at that
time chief clerk under Commission
er Calvert Later he became Office
engineer.
He wss fine example of one of
the finest types of men, the soul of
honor in his business relations, de-
voted to his family and loyal to his
friends. He had a fine mind, we'll
stored with useful knowledge, and
thu taste of the naturally cultured
gentleman for the finest things in
literature and art; and withal he
was so modest and unassuming that
only his most intimate friends knew
him we'll enough to appreciate him
as he deserved.
Besides his faithful and loving
wife he leaves three chiIdren-two
sons and one daughter Another
daughter died in early childhood.
He was member of the A. O.
u. w. here and of the order of Elks
at Olympia. His body was cremat-
ed at Tacoma last Saturday.
