JOHN W. CLARK.
“On the battlefield, fighting for his country, as well as in the battles of life, where he has always shown integrity and kindness, with generosity, the subject of this article has done worthily and is deserving of mention in the volume that would chronicle the leading citizens of the county of Shoshone.
John W. Clark was born in Wood County, Ohio on November 2, 1844, being the son of Adam and Catherine (Wickard) Clark. The father was born in Pennsylvania, of Irish parents, served thirteen months in Company L, Second Missouri Cavalry, Captain A. F. Preston and Colonel Lewis Merrie. On April 24, 1901, this good man went to his final rest, aged eighty-two. The mother of our subject was a native of Ohio, and her parents of Pennsy1vania. Her father was in the war of 1812 and died when he was seventy-seven. Our subject was reared in Michigan, whither his parents had removed when he was three years old. He studied in the winters in the district schools and labored in the summers. When seventeen he enlisted in Merrill's Horse Volunteers, which regiment was made up of recruits from Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, and was called the Second Missouri. This was the same regiment in which his father served, and he went in as his father came out. Nineteen months of this arduous service was given by Mr. Clark and then he was honorably discharged. Following the war we have no record of his whereabouts. At the present time Mr. Clark is residing on his own place, two miles south from Weippe, and does a general farming and stock business. On September 16, 1874, Mr. Clark married Miss Adell Tupper, daughter of Nelson and Lorena (Lockwood) Tupper, who are mentioned in this volume. This wedding occurred in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Mrs. Clark has three brothers and sisters. To our subject and his estimable wife there have been born four children: Elizabeth C., wife of Samson Snyder; Howard T., residing near by; Minnie B wife of Franklin Harrison, residing near by Etta M., single and living at home. Mr. Clark is a member of the A. F. & A. M., Climax Lodge, No. 59, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He also belongs to the G.A.R., Atlanta Post, at Platte Center, Nebraska. “
