SAMUEL L. CLARK, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Clark, was born in Muncy township, Lycoming county, in 1828. At the age of fifteen he entered the employ of William McKinney, who had just established an iron furnace on Lycoming creek, and assisted in making the first heat of iron. He learned the puddler's trade, and remained in the employ of Mr. McKinney seven years, and puddled the last heat of iron turned out at that furnace. He then engaged in the lumber business, and rented land for cultivation until 1864, when he purchased eighty-three acres of forest land. He has since cleared and improved this farm, and brought it under a high state of cultivation: Mr. Clark was married in 1847 to Catharine, daughter of Philip Whipple, of Woodward township. Seven children are the fruits of this union: Margaret, deceased wife of William Hagerman; John, of Wisconsin; Sarah; Philip, also a resident of Wisconsin; Charlotte, wife of William Bird; Alice, wife of Alva Casner, and Susie. In 1865 Mr. Clark enlisted in Company D, Fifty-First Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until the close of the war. In early life he was a Whig, and from the formation of the Republican party he voted that ticket up to 1889, and is now an Independent. He has served as township auditor eight years, three terms as supervisor, and six years as a school director. He has always taken an active interest in the growth and progress of education. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Linden, is a class leader in that society, and has occupied the position of superintendent of the Sunday school. Mr. Clark is a man of broad views, and is recognized as an enterprising and progressive citizen.
