Death of Aaron L. Clark, Formerly of Halifax.
Aaron L. Clark, 84, died Sunday evening in the home of his son, E. W. Clark, in Colrain. Mr. Clark had been sick about a week and because of his advanced age there seemed to be no hope for his recovery. He was born in Whittingham, but lived the greater part of his life in Halifax, where as a young man he held various town offices. He was twice married, his second wife having died a few years ago. For the past two or three years he had made his home with his son in Colrain. He leaves four sons, Charles F. Clark of South Halifax, W. E. Clark of Buckland, E. W. Clark of Colrain, and W. W. Clark of Charlemont, and two daughters, Mrs. Emma Smith of Greenfield and Mrs. Nellie Peterson of Shelburne Falls. Twenty-two grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive. The funeral was held from the Clark home in Colrain Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. J. D. Graham of the Lyonsville Baptist church officiated. The burial was in the Laurel Hill cemetery.
