Death of Silas S. Clark
Death of Silas S., son of Abner and Cynthia Clark, was born in Madrid (?) years ago and died at his home on Norwood road weds morning of this week. More than passing notices is worthy of one who has lived so long in our midst, and borne such an active part with his fellow men in the great struggle of life.
Early in life, he married Louise Willes, who has ever shared life's experiences with him and who will mourn his loss.
Thirty years ago, they moved to the farm where the railroad crosses the Norwood road, and by hard toll and faithful industry they changed the rough woodlands to a home of comfort and delight.
To Mr. And Mrs. Clark seven children, five sons and two daughters were born, who still live to bless their memory. Of those, Fred and Robert are practicing law at White Plains, NY, and Charles is a civil engineer, engaged with the NY Aqueduct Commission at Katonah, NY; Horace conducts a furniture and undertaking business in our town; Earl, a graduate of Cornell Agriculture School, manages the home farm, the daughters are successful teachers in the public schools. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. And Mrs. Clark they were privileged to see their children all graduate from Potsdam Normal. They all will be present at the funeral of their father, which takes place at the home this afternoon at 2 pm. Rev. S. Call officiating assisted by Rev J.W. Miller and Rev B. De F. Snyder of Norwood.
Mr. Clark leaves one brother, Chauncey, living at west Potsdam; three sisters, Mrs. N.L. Stone of Potsdam, Mrs. Ruby Brooks of Rietville, NY and Mrs. George Warner of Schodac, NY.
Early in life Mr. Clark identified himself in the Methodist Episcopal church to whose best interests he has ever been faithful and loyal, the church meanwhile confiding the steward and trusteeship to his judgment and care.
We shall miss him in the church, where he has borne so grand a part. We shall miss him in the busy walks of life, but most of all, we shall miss him in the home as a companion, as father and counselor. We will not forget him for the legacy he has left us is freighted with jewels of love.
