During the War of the Rebellion, he was a member of Co., A, 7th Regt. Iowa Vo. Cavalry and was mustered out of service October 26, 1865, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
In 1866, he was united in marriage to Catharine Gilmour, in Kossuth County, Iowa. To this union seven sons and three daughters were born, of whom five sons and three daughters are still living.
In 1871, he moved to Kossuth County, Iowa, and in 1872, to Wabaunsee County, Kansas. In 1874, he moved to Grant Twsp., Ottawa County, where he resided continously until his death.
Clark was the second of seven sons, two of whom survive him, Alonzo K. and Amos S. both residing in Iowa.
For more than fifty years the writer of this was intimately and closely associated with him, and known him to have been a loving son, kind brother, faithful husband, dutiful parent, honest and upright neighbor and a firm friend. His home and it's agreeable associations and his love for his relatives were in themselves a pleasant world to him.
Thus has passed away another of our early settlers. He lived more than 26 years in the county, a man genial and courteous in his intercourse with his fellowmen, honest and upright in his character, kind and affectionate to his family, and a friend to all.
He leaves a noble, loving wife, eight children, two brothers and many other relatives and friends to mourn his departure.
The remains were laid to rest in Highland Cemetery in Minneapolis.
