'Micajah's death was reported in a Richmond paper written by an unnamed friend. The transcription is taken from a badly scratched microfilm copy of the article appearing in the Friday, July 29, 1808 issue:
"DEPARTED this life on the 21st inst at his residence in the county of Albemarle MICAJAH CLARK, sen. aged 91 years, after a lingering illness of 7 (or 2) months which he endured to the last, with unceasing patience, and a Christian [forbearance], although he was from the commencement of this illness, confidently impressed with the belief he should never recover. This venerable man, hath had the happiness of enjoying a long and well spent life, in good health, almost uninterrupted, never having experienced more than one attack previous to the one which carried him off. He was, in every respect, perfectly uniform and temperate; his benign and humane countenance, plainly indicated the purity and benevolence of his heart, and opened an avenue to his innermost recesses by which any one might enter. How melancholy are the sensations we feel, when meditating on the loss of this, our friend, and the friend of mankind – Philanthropy, humanity, morality and benevolence will severely deplore his loss, and shed a tear in remembrance of his departed shade. It's needless to recount the many amiable qualities which were united in this man; they are well known to all who knew him; but to those who knew him not, suffice it to say, he was a kind and benevolent neighbor, a humane and tender master, and that the poor never passed unheeded by him. The writer of these lines, hath from his infancy, known this man, whose loss we deplore, and in making the foregoing communication he has done it conscientiously.
A FRIEND on 26 Jul 1808."'
