Ann Cora Clarke, daughter of Sherrill Joseph and Harriet Saunders Clarke, was born July 12, 1869, near Milton, Wis., and died January 14, 1958, in Janesville, Wis., following a prolonged illness.

Educated in the public school of Milton, Milton Academy, and Milton College, Miss Clarke prepared herself for teaching. She was a teacher in Wisconsin high schools until 1926.

The child of devout Christian parents, she was baptized in 1877 by the Rev. E. M. Dunn and joined the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church - an active church relationship that she maintained for eighty years. She served as Sabbath School teacher and officer, treasurer of the Women's Circle, and a member of the choir.
