Lucy Jane Gates, daughter of Rev. Lorison Gates and Salome P. (Felt) Gates, was born at Kirtland, Ohio, December 23, 1844. Here she lived until eight years of age, when her parents, deciding that the opportunities for a growing family were greater farther west, moved to Valpariso, Indiana, making the trip in a covered wagon.
She grew to womanhood in Valpariso and for several years taught school during that period when the teacher boarded around with the various families. At an early age she was united with the Christian church, of which her father was a minister, and during her younger womanhood, she would often accompanied him as singer at revival meetings.
March 24, 1872, she was united in marriage to William Clark of Wheatfield, Indiana. They continued to live at Wheatfield and Valpariso for four years, when they moved to LaPorte City, where she has resided almost continuously for fifty-four years.
She passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Tripp, with whom she made her home for a number of years, early Saturday morning, September 13th, after a four days illness due to a stroke.
Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon. Rev. Morgan of the Presbyterian chursh, having charge, taking for his text the last line of the twenty third Psalm: "And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, for ever." The body was laid to rest in the family plot in West View Cemetery beside the husband, who passed away twenty-six years ago, and a little son who died at the age of three and one half years.

(Nellie) Hull and Mrs. Robert (Bertha) Tripp of LaPorte City; Mrs. Henry Griner, of Duluth, Minnesota; Mrs. Fred (Letta M.) Levell, of Brandon, and Mrs. Harry A. (Laura E.)
