General Notes: Husband - George Clark


His youth was spent in Robinson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools and worked on the neighboring farms. He then became an apprentice under Joseph Corbet, of Mansfield Valley, who taught him the painter's trade. After finishing his apprenticeship he worked for Mr. Corbet for several years as a journeyman, then became contractor of house painting and was successfully engaged in that business for many years in Carnegie. He was noted for the fine quality of his work, his services always being in demand so long as he continued in the business. In 1880 he erected a comfortable house at No. 534 Washington avenue which was later the residence of his widow. He was a Republican in politics, serving as school director. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church, in which he held the office of elder. He was a man of quiet and retired habits, a lover of his home and deeply interested in church work.
