Son of N. Goodnow Clark & Ann Round Clark. George's middle name is spelled "Merrill" and "Merritt" in various records, and his family name is sometimes spelled "Clarke".

In August, 1855, George married Cornrelia Paige in Weathersfield, Vermont. Cornelia passed away after the birth of their son.

George was a Civil War Veteran. On October 23, 1862, he mustered in as a Sergeant in Company E of the 16th Vermont regiment. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant, and mustered out on August 10, 1863.

George's musical talents were evident at a young age. As a boy, he played fiddle at community dances and gatherings. Later, he taught singing school in Vermont towns. In 1866, he was one of the founders of Whitmore & Clark's Minstrels, serving as the stage manager and musical director. The group's acts changed over time, but included gymnasts, comedians, singers, dancers, brass bands, and orchestras.
George performed with the group for 26 years. The group continued for a few years after George's death.

For many years, Whitemore & Clark's group concluded their annual tours with a benefit for the Felchville Library. Their initial benefit was credited with providing the funds for the first books purchased by the Library. A portrait of George Clark hung in the Gilbert A. Davis Library in Reading, Vermont. (Felchville is a village within the town of Readingl)
