GOULD SMITH CLARK
MIDDLEBURY: Farmer
Mr. Clark, now in his seventy-eighth year, was born in the town of Prospect, March 12, 1814. He was reared a farmer, in an agricultural neighborhood, where the educational facilities were few, and at a remote date when school-houses were of very primitive design exteriorly and interiorly, in striking contrast with the public schools of today and the buildings in which pupils are now taught. He was married in 1840 to Miss Maria H. Skilton of Watertown, by whom he has had three children. His married life has been spent almost entirely in Middlebury, where he has owned and managed the farm upon which he now resides, and where he has held nearly all the offices within the gift of the town, being elected thereto by the republicans, of which party he has been a member since 1856. He is a member of the Congregational church of Middlebury, and has been one of its deacons since 1864. He represented that town in the legislature in the years 1857, 1871, and 1872, and was appointed by Governor Andrew as one of the appraisers of the state prison property in Wethersfield. Deacon Clark has had a long, useful, and honored life. He was of sturdy New England stock, and in his person and character exemplifies the noblest and best traits of a Puritan ancestry.

Gould died on November 17, 1899 at age 85 years, 8 months, and 5 days old in Middlebury, New Haven County, Connecticut. He was buried in the Middlebury Cemetery.
