Chas. F. Clark Answers Final Summons
This community was deeply grieved late Saturday afternoon when the tiding spread that Distict Clerk Chas. F. Clark was dead at the home of his brother-in-law, W. N. Lawley. The end came at 5:15 p.m., July 29, following an illness of some two weeks Mr. Clark was taken suddenly ill with a violent attack of acute indigestion, however after several days he recovered sufficiently to be up and about a little until a Thursday when he again became quite ill, his condition being critical from that time on.
At the time of his death he was 53 years, 9 months and 5 days old.
Mr. Clark wasa nativeof Tuscumbia, Missouri. He came to Gonzales twenty two years ago residing here ever since. After teaching school for awhile he entered politics serving in public office for the past fourteen years. For ten years he was the efficient county clerk of this county and for the last four years had served as district clerk, dying in harness.
He married Miss Katie Cooley, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Colley, a number of years ago, his wife preceded him to the great beyond. We understand no immediate members of his family survive, however, he leaves a number of relatives by marriage to whom he had endeared himself to such an extent that his passing is felt deeply and his presence will be sadly missed by them.
A faithful member of the Episcopal church, prominent in official circles, affiliated with several lodges, including the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the Wwodmen of the World, counting his friends by the score, Gonzales in his death loses one of her best, one of her most highly respected citizens. A man of sterling worth, of affable manner, kind and generous almost a fault, his memory will be revered by all with whom he came in contact.
Funeral services were conducted at the Lawley residence Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. B. S. McKenzie, rector of the church of the Messiah in the presence of a large gathering of residents. The impression funeral rites of the church were used.
After the service the handsome grey casket was removed to the hearse by the acting pall bearers, JohnC. Jones, Baker Hoskins Jr., J. F. Remschel, Ollie J. DuBose, N. D. Cone and Lum Ollre, the procession formed and moved to the Odd Fellows cemetery where internment was made. The members of the K. P. Lodge, acting as a guard of honor, marched in the procession. Arrived at the cemetery, the remains we're consigned to their last resting place with burial ritual of the Knights of Pythias.
A weath of handsome floral offerings banked the new made grave extending to and completely covering the resting place of his wife adjoining, attesting to the universal esteem in which the decedent was held. The service was concluded with the benediction by Rev. Mr. McKenzie.
The funeral was very largely attended.
Following were the honorary pall bearers:
C. E. Dilworth, Jon. DuBose Sr. Ed Titcomb, R. S. Dilworth
, M. J. Koch, S. H. Gillette, C. T. Nash, T. E. Stephenson, Dr. J. A. Maness, J. M. Rainey, C. A. Burchard, Ben Ehlere, W. D. Heye, H. H. Wilson, Carl Arno, A. S. Todd, F. J. Lang, J. C. Romberg, H.
