Seth Thomas Clark was born September 13, 1876 in Lima, Adams County, Illinois. He was the fourth child of George Washington Clark and Nancy Lucinda Wood.
He married Alice Irene Cronkhite around 1925 and had four children: Gladys Irene, Dora Ann, Thomas Leroy and Nancy Fay. Mr. Clark lived in the south and eastern part of Macon for many years.
On April 24, 1940 in the Graves Chapel community, Mr. Clark disappeared into the woods with his shotgun after telling his wife, "he wouldn't be back." His wife called the sheriffs office concerned about him. A twenty-five member posse was formed to search for Mr. Clark, but his body wasn't discovered for almost 24 hours after he left his house. Mr. Clark was found resting beside a tree, shot in his head with his shotgun laying beside him.
