the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Clark.
Practically all of his boyhood days
we're spent in Berlin and he was a
student at the Academy, the building
which is located next to the Branda-
gee homestead on Berlin street.
The Academy which lie attended
was founded in 1888 by the Worth
ington Academical association. The
board of directors at this time de-
creed that the first floor of the build
ing be used for school purposes and
the second be used for religious serv-
ices and lectures in connection with
the school. The exact date of the
school going out of existence is not
known, but Mr.. Clark stated that it
was in one of its last years that he
attended.
When he was nineteen years of age,
Mr.. Clark enlisted in the Company G,
list Connecticut heavy artillery, and
served for three years during the
Civil War. For the last two years he
was gunner and corporal. Previous
to this period of service he was in
Company x of the 3rd regiment
While in the service he fought at the
siege of Yorktown and at the Battle
of Bull Run. of all his experiences
Mr. Clark stated that the Battle of
Bull Run was one of the greatest
On May s, 1865, he was married to
Miss Anna Deming, and of this mar
riage he had four children, Lillian,
George Hiram, Cora and Arthur
Clark. The latter three are still liv-
ing, the two boys being in California
and unmarried. Cora Clark is now
Mrs. e. e. Honiss. lie has two
grandchildren, Miss Doris and Miss
Jeanette Honss.
His first wife died in 1915 and on
20, 1916 he married Miss
Hattie w. Sage.
Town Officer
Mr., Clark has been very active and
interested in town affairs and for a
period of s years was first selectman
Of the town of Berlin. He is a mem
Der of the Stanley Post, G. \. r. and
has served the town at various times
At prosecuting attorney, deputy Judge
and in many smaller offices.
Many Remembrance
Mr.. Clark remembers when the
rolleyS were first run to Berlin as he
was serving the town as selectman at
he time. John IgOe, who at present
S a conductor on the Plainville line
Of the Connecticut company was due
IF the first conductors to come to
3erlin with the old-fasAioned horse
irawn type of a vehicle. The trolleys
we're run about once every hour at
hat time but proved to be a great
I'D to the toWnsfolk as the only other
means of transportation to New Brit
lin in those days was horse and
wagon or walking.
Although it is many, many years
go Mr.. Clark remembers when the
resent New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad line was put
through. At first plans were made to
ave the track located Just south of
he Worthington Ridge. The people |
oWever, objected to thin ar
and as a result the tracks
we're placed where they are at pres |
mt. Great difficulty was encountered |
ear the Peat works. Previous to the
rolley being operated to Berlin an
Id coach was used to convey the pas
angers to that section of the town.
Mr.. Clark also says that the mail
arriers in those days had several
orscs to hire and were the means of
for the residents to get
| and out of the town.
