The News-Journal, January 17, 1963
Everett F. Clark, 47, whose face appeared nationwide on war bond posters, died of leukemia at 8:30 a.m. Thursday at Norton Memorial Infirmary, Louisville. In 1943 and 1944, after being wounded in Tunisia, Sgt. Clark toured the country in behalf of the fourth war bond drive of World War II. His portrait, made while he was on crutches, was circulated throughout the country to help sell bonds. The original portrait done in pastels by a Louisville artist, Robert Wathen, was presented to Clark in 1961. He was wounded in 1943 when an antitank shell exploded near him, breaking his left leg and filling his right leg with shell fragments. He received two purple hearts. After being discharged, he worked for a while in a defense plant in Indiana, returning to Campbellsville where he obtained a job in a cooperage factory. He twice became ill with tuberculosis and lost part of his left foot in an industrial accident. He received a disabled veteran's pension and Social Security, and for the past two years he carried a Courier-Journal route in Taylor, Adair, and Casey Counties. He was a member of the American Legion Post 82 and Disabled American Veterans Chapter 70. A native of Taylor County, he was the son of Mary Wilson Clark and Charlie Clark, and was a member of Robinson Creek Baptist Church. He is survived by his wife, Stella Glenn Clark, operator of the Stella Beauty Shop, in Campbellsville; one daughter, Miss Patricia Kaye Clark, at home; mother, Mrs. Mary Wilson Clark; three sisters, Mrs. Edna Bishop, Mrs. Montra Perkins, and Mrs. Marie Lowery, all of Campbellsville. His father, one brother and one sister preceded him in death. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock from the Lyon Funeral Home Chapel by Rev. J. W. Brown, Rev. Louis Lightfoot, and Rev. Earl Pike. Burial was in Brookside Cemetery. Honorary pallbearers were Lee Eastridge, Russell Pike, Bud Elder, Chester Humphress, Travis Ethridge, Boyce Curry, and John Garrison. Active pallbearers were Neal Hester, Claude Ray Sublett, Raymond Lewis, Bobby Miller, Coy Rainwater, and Forrest Hogue.
