The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 112, No 16, p 510, Apr. 18, 1932.
John A. Clarke was born in Milton, Wisconsin, June 30th, 1853 and died March 5th, 1932 at the age of 78 years.
At the age of 21 he joined his father and brother in the pioneer colony at North Loup, Nebraska Here he endured and enjoyed the hardships and privations of a pioneer's life.
As the colony grew and prospered he with his brother engaged in the livery business for several years, following which they went south into Mississippi and Louisiana.
In 1890 he was united with Gertrude Davis in marriage at Beauregard, Mississippi. This union was blessed with three children, Mildred, Marian and a son who died at the age of 3 years.
He removed with his family in 1904 to Boulder, Colorado, returned to North Loup in 1913 and from here to Kearney in 1921 where he has since resided.
Mr. Clarke was a man of strong integrity and deep seated religious convictions.
At the time of his death he was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church at Boulder, Colorado. He was ever a loyal defender of the Seventh Day Sabbath and his faith in a loving Savior sustained him in his long months of suffering. His daily life was sufficient testimony of his beliefs.
Although of a jovial disposition which won him friends where ever he went, his chief interests centered in his home, and his great pleasure came from his comradeship with his family.
