Mr. Clarke died at 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, in Mercy hospital, Janesville, where he was taken Saturday afternoon for treatment after being cared for several weeks at the Beecher convalescent home in Janesville. Mr. Clarke had been a farmer, salesman, painter, and carpenter. He lived at 105 Clear Lake ave., Milton Junction, for 40 years.

He came west with his parents a year later, the family settling on a farm east of Milton which had been purchased by Irving Clarke's grandfather, Alvit Clarke. They resided there until 1867 when his father bought the southern half of the farm and built a house on it, the farm now owned by Mr. Clarke's brother, J. Dwight Clarke. Mr. Clarke attended Milton public schools and Milton Academy. On Nov. 4, 1876, he married Rosella Osborn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Osborn, Milton, and five children were born to them. The eldest son died in infancy and Mrs. Clarke died Sept. 3, 1900. On Aug. 3, 1903, Mr. Clarke married Mrs. Esther Osborn Cole, who died Feb. 12, 1948. Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Oscar H.

From "Wendy Uncapher" a paid genealogist: "Irving Clarke first married Rosella Osborn and then had her tested for insanity in 1891. I found the insanity hearing in the court records index book. I was looking for a divorce but was surprised to find that. That could be why I can't find a death certificate for her. They must have sent her to another county or didn't bother with a death certificate at the county home. Do you have any information to sort this out? The actual transcripts are not in Janesville. They were sent to Madison but may have made their way to Whitewater by now to the Area Research Center (branch of the Wis. Historical Society)."
