Died - In Rapid City, Friday, March 9, 1906, Joel Allen Clark, aged sixty-four years, one month and four days of a complication of diseases.
After weeks of suffering the subject of this sketch is at rest. Mr. Clark was born in North Hero, Vt., February 5, 1842. From there he removed to Iowa, where, when about twenty years of age, he married Miss Lavina Hutchins. Later they moved to Janesville, Minn., where they resided until her death which occurred two years ago the twenty-fifth of last February. Seven children were born to them, six of whom are living to mourn their honored father's death. They are Willard J., and Mrs. J.M. Gardener, of Janesville, Arthur B., of Brayton, Nebraska, Earl, of Waseka, Minn., Mrs. J.T. Fuller, of Dodge Center, Minn., and Clayton C., of Rapid City.
Mr. Clark came to Rapid City on the first day of last June in the hope of improving his health. For a time he was better, but two or three months ago he began to get worse, and later he was taken to Deadwood to see if an operation could not be performed to help him. When upon the operating table it was found that whatever his trouble nothing could be done for him, and he was brought home. Since that time he has been a great sufferer. Thursday morning his daughter, Mrs. Gardner, of Janesville, came to be with him. For days he had called for her, and his greatest desire seemed to be to live until she came. That pleasure and satisfaction was granted him, for he lived to greet her Thursday noon, and his spirit did not take its departure until yesterday morning at about eight o'clock.
For some time Mr. Clark has realized that his days were numbered, and a few days ago he asked that the sacrament might be administered to him. After his daughter came he seemed to feel that he was ready to go, and his death came as a relief from suffering. During his residence here he made many friends who respected him for his worth and sterling qualities. The funeral services will be held at the home of his son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton C. Clark in the Reder block, this afternoon at four o'clock, conducted by the Rev. F.F. Case. Mrs. Gardner will take the remains to Janesville, Minnesota, this evening, where they will be interred by the side of his wife and daughter, Beulah, who died in her twenty-fourth year. The sympathy and help of the people of Rapid City will be freely given to the mourning family.
