John Clark Spent Years
as Rancher and Board Official
Clark, John, spent his life as farmer & rancher. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church. On October 19, 1875, he married Elizabeth "Eliza" Thompson of Valcartier, Quebec Province, Canada. In 1880, Mr. Clark came to Bismarck. Mrs. Clark with 2 small children arrived 6 months later. Mrs. Clark, a member of the Presbyterian Church, was always willing to lend a helping hand to neighbors & others -- a trait of the pioneers. She bore 9 children, John (1883-1884); Andrew (1890-1897); Eleanor Suverly, Mandan, formerly of Livona (1876-1939), raised a family of 10 children; Janie Lee of Rapid City, SD, 4 sons (a grandson studying for the ministry); Curtis Clark of Buffalo, SD, married Sarah Smith & they have 9 children; Susan McDonnell, 413 Second St., Bismarck, 1 daughter Eliza Yvonne, now Mrs. W.W. Donaldson, who resides in Bismarck. Leslie married Gladys Doehle & lives on the old homestead, & they have 1 son, Wayne, a student at Bismarck High School; Mamie Clark, now of Hazelton, Eliza O'Callaghan, Hazelton, has 2 sons, both veterans of World War II & her eldest son, Garry, is serving as Veterans Service officer at Linton (also farming) & James is attending Butler University, Indianapolis, IN.
Mr. Clark on his arrival at Bismarck worked 3 months for Dan Manning & for Frank Donnelly the winter of 1880-1881. During Mr. Clark's spare time, he chopped & hewed logs with which to build a house, placing them on a rise of ground, where Mr. Manning said they would be safe, but in the spring of 1881, the flood waters washed them away causing a repetition of the work. In the latter part of 1881, Mr. Clark squatted on a piece of land on a reservation 10 miles south of Bismarck, where he & Mrs. Clark lived. They celebrated their golden anniversary October 19, 1925. In the winter of 1881, a stirring incident occurred to Mrs. Clark, which was alone for the day. When a number of Indians from Standing Rock Agency & bound for northern parts, stopped at the house. When she saw them coming, she rolled a 300-pound meat block against the door, but this was no obstacle to them & in pushing the block, they loosened the door's hinges & entered. They demanded something to eat. The two small children were so frightened they crawled under the bed. A couple of Indians followed & looked under at them. While Mrs. Clark was preparing the meal & they were standing about the room, one redskin took a knife from his pocket & began sharpening it on his coat sleeve, then Mrs. Clark went to the door & called her husband's name pretending he was near. At this point, an Indian produced a slip of paper & showed it to her; it being a government pass. After they had eaten, they made signs of thanks, & proceeded on their way.
Another incident happened about 1890, when an Indian outbreak was reported to settlers along the river. The people of the community packed a few belongings on their wagons & hastened to Bismarck in the night. Stayed at Custer House, but were able to return home the next day.
