WALLACE CLARK, 19 Mar 1831 - 28 Apr 1902

   Wallace Clark was born in the state of New York, March 19, 1831, 
and died April 28, 1902, aged 71 years, 1 month and 9 days.
   He came west in an early day, and with his parents settled near 
Flint, Steuben county, Ind., where he spent quite a large part of a 
busy life.  He was united in marriage to Mary L. Brown, Aug. 28, 
1853.  To this union was born one child, now Mrs. L. J. Corwin, of 
Kinderhook, Mich.
   Mr. Clark being of an enterprising turn of mind built the Flint 
Mills, dealing quite largely in real estate, shipped stock and 
engaged in various other enterprises.  He came to Kinderhook in 
about 1868, and settled on the farm now owned by J. D. Conklin.  He 
made Kinderhook his home until about 1880, when he returned to 
Flint, Ind., and went into the milling business, which he continued 
there and at Nevada Mills during the remainder of his business 
career, and for the last 4 years he has lived a retired life with 
his daughter.  He was a neighborly neighbor; always ready to aid in 
the advancement of the community in which he lived.  A great many 
of the older people of Branch and Steuben counties know his life, 
which we believe is universally respected, but he is gone, the 
world that knew him once shall know him no more forever.  May we 
strive to emulate the good in such men, that the world may be the 
better that we have lived in it.
   Mr. Clark was buried in the Knauss cemetery, Wednesday, April 
30, Rev. Gulick officiating.
