CLARK.--The Rev. Charles D. Clark was born at Middle-Smithfield, Monroe Co., Pa., Nov. 13, 1843, and died at his home at Mountain Top, Pa., of pulmonary disease, after an illness of four or five weeks, surrounded by his family and friends, Tuesday, Aug. 28, 1888, at 9:25 p.m., and was therefore on the day of his death aged 44 years, 9 months and 15 days. Mr. Clark was united in marriage Jan. 8, 1870, with Miss Susan Lutsey. Four children, two sons and two daughters, were born to them and are now left with the widowed mother sadly bereaved. With the exception of a few months the eighteen years of Mr. Clark's married life were spent at Mountain Top. During all this time he was thoroughly identified with every good work in the community. Twenty years and more he served as a Local Preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Though not blessed with strong physical powers he always took his full share of Christian work and church responsibility, and by precept and example impressed men with the strong convictions he had of the nobility of the Christian life and faith. The principle revealed in the act of the good Samaritan was that by which he tried to regulate his life. He practiced what he preached. He gave of his means to all the interests of the church, and although he was not rich in the world's goods he was rich toward God. He leaves his family the legacy of an upright character, a good name and a useful life. As a citizen he was conscientious and spirited. He preferred measures before men and principles before parties. He served the public as school director, as a teacher and in many other capacities, and on the day of his death he was the Luzerne County candidate of the Prohibition Party for the office of jury commissioner. He believed in Prohibition heart and soul; and regretted that he could not live long enough to cast his last vote for that party at the coming presidential election. He was a man of decided convictions. In them he was always definite, powerful and uncompromising. He was a man of broad intelligence and remarkably clear mind. His sermons were forcible and strong. He died as he had lived, with an unwavering faith in the Gospel which he had preached. The funeral was held at the Mountain Top Methodist Episcopal Church, Sunday, Sept. 2, the Rev. J. C. Hogan, the pastor, officiating, and was very large. The text was from the words of Paul in Second Timothy, fourth chapter.
