  ARBY CLARK was born in Jamestown, New York, October 29th, 1843 and
died in Fremont, Indiana, December 12th, 1915, aged 72 years, 1 month

to his country's first call for volunteers he enlisted in Company A,
49th N.Y.
  He remained in active service until the close of the war, except for
the short time that he was a prisoner of the southern forces.
  At the close of the war he went to the then vast forests of Michigan
to work at his trade as a lumberman, which was also his father's and
brother's trade.
  Of this family of four brothers and two sisters, his taking away
leaves but one younger brother, who lives in Tacoma, Washington.
  He was married December 30, 1871, to Louisa J. Dygert, who died June
30, 1915.  To this union were born one son and five daughters.  One
daughter, Nina, preceded them to the great beyond.  Those remaining are
Clara Shepherd of Willow Springs, Missouri, Ray Clark and May Phenicie
of near Fremont, Indiana, Leah Parkhurst of Greenville, Michigan, and
Arla Clark of Indianapolis, Indiana, also five grandchildren, who were
the joy of his declining years.

        "Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'er.
        Dream of fighting fields no more;
        Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking,
        Morn of toil, nor night of waking"

Note: buried at Dygert Cemetery, Steuben County, IN
