JEROME CLARK, farmer, son of David and Eliza Clark, was born in Atkinson, Rockingham county, New Hampshire, January 17, 1833. He spent his youth up to twenty-two years of age in Plaistow, New Hampshire, where he received his education in the academy at that place. After leaving school he learned the bricklayer's trade. In the fall of 1856 Mr. Clark came to Minnesota, stopping first at Red Wing, Goodhue county, where he worked at his trade two years. In 1857 he pre-empted one hundred and sixty acres of land on section 10, in Minneola township. In the spring of 1859 he moved on to his claim, and resided there up to 1865, when he purchased one hundred and sixty acres on section 13, town of Ashland, where he is now living. Mr. Clark has by purchase added to his farm, and at present owns two hundred and forty acres, with good and substantial buildings. For the past five years he has made the raising of blooded stock, both horses and cattle, a specialty. December 3, 1861, Mr. Clark married Philetta Thayer, of Du Page county, Illinois. Six children are the fruit of this union: Harry C., born May 26, 1863, lives in St. Paul and works at his trade, that of a machinist; Mercy E., January 28, 1866, lives at home, teacher by profession; David G., June 16, 1868, at home; Mary C., May 28, 1871; John T., April 25, 1875; Philetta B., April 6, 1878.
