West Liberty Ia, Aug. 21 - Word has been received of the death last Wednesday of Mrs. Louisa M. Clark, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Chesebro at Watsonville, Cal. Deceased was 86 years of age, the widow of William A. Clark and lived for nearly sixty years on a farm northwest of West Liberty, where her husband died. After his death she resided in West Liberty for about eight years, but becoming disabled went to California less than two years ago to end her days with her daughter.

Mrs. Clark is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Her parents, William and Lois ( Loveland ) Bagley, who were also pioneers of the county, have long since passed away. The father who was a native of New Hampshire, died in September, 1838, and the mother, who was a native of Connecticut, departed this life in 1856. The parents of Mrs. Clark were of English origin, their ancestors having
emigrated to this country early in the Colonial days, and some members of the family took part in the Revolutionary War. The Bagley family first settled in Rhode Island, and the Lovelands at Litchfield, Conn. Mr. and Mrs. Bagley were
married at Castleton, Vt., and soon after emigrated to Athens County, Ohio, and were among the pioneers of that country. In the spring of 1836 they again moved westward with the tide of human emigration, and located at Princeton, Illinois., but remained there only a year, and then continued their journey to Muscatine County, Iowa, where they resided until death. They were the parents of eleven children, two of whom died in infancy, and nine grew to man and womanhood, and of this number six are living at this time ( March, 1889 ). The oldest, Adaline, is now Mrs. Kirkpatrick, and resides near Atlantic, Iowa ; Mary A.
became Mrs. Wolf, and died in California ;Louisa, Mrs. Clark, is third in order of birth ; Alanson is engaged in farming near Atlantic, Iowa ; Nancy, wedded a Mr. Cole, and is still living ; Elizabeth, became the wife of Davis Mann, and died at Dubuque, many years ago ; Amy, now Mrs. Healey, a resident of Colfax, Cal.; Lucena is now Mrs. Frank Farguhar, and resides in Audubon County, Iowa ;
and Horace, who was a soldier in the late Civil War, died in a hospital at Memphis, Tenn., from a fever contracted while in the service of his country. The parents of this family were almost lifelong members of the Baptist Church, and were devout Christians.
