Sunday was a bright New Years
day, but very sad one for many East
Montpelier residents and also many
people from all surrounding towns

friend.
Orlando Clark was born in this
town 10 years ago last March 9Th, on
the farm near the Barre line where his
only brother, G. III. Clark, now lives,
and where his father, Theophilus Clark
was born and brought up before him,
his grandfather having been one of the
pioneers in the settlement Of this town
and the farm has always been i'll the
same family and is more than likely to
remain for many years to come, as
there are many descendants of the
original owner in town or nearby.
Mr.. Clark has always been held in
the highest esteem by all his towns
people and his business ability was Of
the best. His two sons will sadly miss
his wise counsel as will his only
daughter his loving care, and his wife
will have only tender memories of her
companion Of nearly rs years.
Orlando Richard Clark, only child of
Harold, eldest son of the deceased, one
year old last August, was often
brought to delight the heart Of his
glrndfathert who suffered many months
and is now at rest All that the most
loving care Of his family could do was
done to make him as comfortable as
possible and his wife was ever within
call since his fatal injury last July 81.
when he fell and injured one hip SO he
could never walk again.
Death came after "a hours of stupor
and the end was peaceful, as his life
had always been.
