Clark - Will - 1891

Waveland, Feb. 16—As Will Clark and two others were rolling logs at Wolf’s saw mill Saturday afternoon, a cant hook slipped off the log they had in two and struck Clark on the side of the head. The skull was fractured and consciousness was gone. He was immediately taken to his home where he lingered until 9:30 Sunday night when he died, never having regained consciousness. He leaves a young wife to mourn. They were married less than a year ago.

This morning about a dozen Odd Fellows went to Waveland to conduct the funeral of Will E. Clark who met his death there last Saturday. It was only two weeks ago that the same party went down from here to initiate him into the order and it was his dying request that they conduct his funeral. Mr. Clark was a young man of great promise and had been married only since last summer.
