COMMUNITY SADDENED BY
THE DEATH OF JOHN CLARK
PIONEER OF FLAGSTAFF
Continued from page u

riage was in 1905. They moved here a
year later and this has been their
home ever since. A few years ago
they built a fine home on North
Humphrey street, which they rented
for few months during last sum-
mer while they were at Lake Mary
resort which Mr.. Clark had bought.
On their return to Flagstaff month
ago, their own home still being oc-
cupied, they lived with his parents.
Mrs. Clark is again in her own home.
Their two boys, Victor, aged 13 and
Jack, 10, attend school in California.
Soon after Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
moved here from Tucson, his brother
Charlie, who had a clothing store
here, took John into partnership.
Later Charlie sold John his share in
the business and the latter conducted
it until last spring when, because of
failing health, he disposed of both
stock and building.
Deceased was charter member and
first exalted ruler of the Elks lodge
at Yuma. He was secretary for many
years Of the Flagstaff lodge of For
esters and was member of the Yeo-
man, Moose and Woodmen lodges.
He is survived by his wife and two

sons, his parents and one brother,
Charlie Clark of Grand Canyon. The
latter arrived here shortly after his
death and remained several days.
John Clark took great interest
in all public matters, read extensive
ly and devoted thought to what he
read and the more important hap
penings, local and national. He was
an honest man, sincere in his con-
victions and independent in uttering
them. He had many sincere friends
and their sympathy goes out in full
measure to his devoted wife and to
the other immediate relatives, among
whom the attachment is strong.
The funeral was on Tuesday morn
ing at $3.50 o'clock from the Catholic
church, and interment was in the
Flagstaff Catholic cemetery. The ar
rangements were directed by the
Flagstaff Elks lodge. The pail
bearers were George Fleming, Frank
LaBas, Capt j. B. Wright, Arthur
Riordan, Charles w. Isham and Hen
ry L. Albers.
Andrew and George Martin, bro
theirs of Mrs. Clark and both WELL
former a banker and owner of a
chain of drug stores-arrived soon
after news of Mr.. Clark's death
reached them and remained until af-
ter the funeral, as did Mrs. Clark's
sister, Miss Belle Martin of Los
Angeles.

given a small horse on the cattle
range where he then worked. 1t took
two years to break it of its natural
nlischeivousness, and it became a
valuable and highly-esteemed worker
and pet. When he went to France
with the A. E. F., Mr.. Gyberg, as
stable sergeant in charge of $50 hor-
ses, found himself without feed for
the animals. After many hours fruit
less search for feed he ran across
another stable sergeant, newly ar
rived, who had plenty and meant to
keep it.
Most of the men with the horses
over there knew nothing about hors-
es. This man did. When Gyberg
was struck by the resemblance of
one of the animals to his own little
Arizona horse, and spoke of it, the
other man became aware that this
fellow looking for feed was a horse
man. Then Gyberg got the feed.
Followed close friendship between the
two men. After the war Gyberg vis-
tied his friend in New York The
latter was connected by marriage
with Mr. Fox, and he and Mr.. Gy-
berg soon became fast friends. Mr.
Fox came here only to fall in love
with this country. From all this, by
slow process, evolved the idea of the
school, the choice of site and the for
nation of the corporation.
Not long ago the little horse went
through drift fences and pastures
and across canyons for 125 miles to
his old home ranch. He is now on
the corporations lower ranch. Frank
told the crowd Saturday-and there
was a catch in his voice when he said
it-that the little horse would spend
the rest of his days in comfort and
ease at the school ranch.

YUMA ELKS REMEMBER
LATE JOHN M. CLARK

Coming as great surprise to his
many friends and fellow lodge mem
bers in this city, the death of j. M.
Clark of Flagstaff, senior past ex-
alted ruler of the Yuma B. P. 0. Elks,
No. 476, was announced Saturday
through a telegram received by It. T.
Gull, secretary of the local Elks'
lodge.
Mr.. Clark passed into the great be-
yond last Saturday at his home in
Flagstaff, according to the advice re-
ceived here, but the cause was not
disclosed.
Although not a resident of this city
for more than twenty years, Mr..
Clark had never taken his member
ship from Yuma and was still mem
Der Of the local order when death
took him.
Up to the time the federal prison
formerly located here was moved to
Florence, Mr.. Clark was captain Of
Fthe guards there and on its removal
to Tucson, where he became deputy
United States marshal In that city
he met and married Miss Martin,
now his widow, who survives him.
Some time later the family moved to
Flagstaff, where they have since re-
sided.
Last summer several Of the local
Elks were UP at Flagstaff, where they
attended the Elks' celebration and
met Mr.. Clark. At that time he
seemed in the best of health, the an
nouncement of his death coming as a
distinct surprise to everyone who
knew him here

II. Favour of Prescott to speak. Mr..
Favour told of the great purpose of
the school and said he believed it has
a great future.
Music was furnished by lively
three-piece jazz orchestra from Jer-

Mr.. Hazeltine said the real thing
behind the formation of the plan was
"the confidence Mr.. Fox has in the
man we all call General Frank Gy-
berg" He led three cheers and a
tiger for the blushing Frank.
Then the bunch gathered around
the foot of the big flag-pole, the col
ors were broken out, and Mr.. Hazel
tine led in singing Star Spangled
Banner.

health study at school that certain
vegetables contain iron and are val

was preparing string beans, she heard
her remark, Il wonder why the beans
rust SO this year"

iron in them makes them rust?"

The November night swallowed her,
as dark as Jimmy's sudden suspicion.
He started after her, or at least to-

later he all but plunged headlong into
a sunken garden. He was checked
but only for second. He tore around
the obstacle.
Then he blinked incredulously. The

triumphant at the suddenness of her

plays and movies. But no bluecoats

her.
