Alonzo was the son of Jesse Cullum Clark and his second wife, Margaret Keith.

Alonzo G. Clark was born on the Clark homestead in Solomon Township April 5, 1891, and died there February 24, 1920. Alonzo was the fourth [fifth] child of Jesse and Margaret Clark and the first of the fourteen to be called from the family circle.

As Alonzo or Lon, as he was best known, was the oldest of those who took over his father's estate, on him fell the responsibility of managing the large farm, a trust in which he was highly successful. His honesty, industry, and level-headedness together with his public spirit and his helpfulness to the needy, made him admired and respected by all. He was a man that counted in a community, and he will be missed in these days of industrial reconstruction.

Alonzo leaves to mourn his departure, three half-sisters, two half-brothers, four sisters, four brothers, and a host of friends. Funeral services were conducted at the home on February 25 by Rev. Adolph Haberly, and he was laid to rest in the family plot at the Morland cemetery.
