General Notes: Husband - John M. Clark

---

He was born in Center County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public schools of Center County and was seventeen years of age at the time of his father's removal to Clarion county. After his marriage he lived on the edge of Clarion county, near Nickleville, on a small farm which he bought. He was a carpenter by trade and devoted most of his attention to that work and to wagon-making throughout the greater part of his active career. About 1864 he removed to Cranberry township, Venango County, where he farmed on a tract of nineteen acres of land. After the death of his wife, he returned to Clarion County and for a time resided on a farm of thirty-five acres in Salem township. A few years later he sold the place in Salem township and returned to Cranberry township, Venango County, where he lived with his son Albert until his death. He was a Republican in politics; his wife was a member of the Presbyterian church. [GPHAV, 837]
