the corporation in 1884, under a charter
granted by the legislature, Judge Clark
was made chairman of the board of trus-
tees and was an efficient and influential
member until his retirement in 1852. Rob.
ert c. Clark is his lneal descendant, and
for that reason and on account of his own
ability it was logical and fitting that he
should be appointed to fill vacancy on
that board.
