From "A Genealogy Of The Clark Family", by Henry William Clark, 1905:

Mrs. Susan Parks Clark was born in Laurens District, South Carolina, February 24, 1796. She was one of the best housewives it is the fortune of man to be blest with. Intelligent and entertaining, with a happy faculty for making friends, as housekeeper, industrious and skilled in domestic handcraft, a congenial companion and true helpmeet. She was ever solicitous for the success in life and happiness of her children, ever ready by precept and example, and by word of cheer to lure them on to honorable and useful lives. She lived and suffered and loved and lost and dreamed and struggled to attain till she grew rich throughout and ripened and matured like a fruit. She was a woman of truth, repose, experience, feeling and grasp. A sister to your labor, a valiant comrade in the great battle of life; a woman of strength like a gulf stream to your love. She was a sympathetic and helpful neighbor, ever ready to go to the aid of the afflicted, ever fond beside the bed of her sick neighbor as nurse and counselor; a true minister of mercy. In her later life and before she was herself stricken with paralysis, much of her time was given to the noble work of ministering to the sick of her community, and she so left a halo of grateful memory about the last years of her long and useful life, and though dead for more than 20 years the fragrance of her life still lingers in the community in which she lived. The memory of such a woman deserves to be cherished lovingly and tenderly; she is an inspiration, the hope of the world. She died August 5, 1880 after some years of patient suffering from paralysis, aged 84 years and 11 days, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Mary L. Pope, near Monticello, Georgia, who had tenderly and lovingly ministered to her in her affliction. She was buried beside her husband in the family graveyard at the old homestead, her home for half a century. The religion of the family was Baptist.
