John Harvey Clark, 19, son of William Clarence Clark and Dorothy Mae (Enfinger) Clark was electrocuted Thursday while stringing telephone wires along U.S. Highway 27. Owner of the company said Aritificial Resuscitation was given to John Clark as soon as other men on the job could get to him, but it failed to revive him. He was rushed to the hospital, but pronounced dead on arrival.
In addition to his parents, John Harvey is survived by a brother, Henry Clayton Clark of North Fort Myers, 2 sisters, Mary Alice and Carolyn of North Fort Myers, paternal grandmother Desdie Ester Clark; maternal grandmother Perla Enfinger of Fort Myers.
Funeral services will be held at the Church of God of Prophecy on Sunday Nov. 21, 1965 at 2:30 p.m. with the Rev. J. Eddie Mounce officiating. Place of Internment will be in the Fort Myers Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
John Harvey Clark, Gone but not forgotten. Remembered for his Christian faith. He was a loyal church attender and loved by all who knew him. Following the hearse to the cemetery was the longest line of cars I had ever seen. "Harvey" was well liked and respected for the kind human being he was.
The photo in the center at the right is Harvey relaxing at Church Youth Camp in the Summer of 1963. Harvey is the Baby in his mother's arms in the bottom photo. His Brother Henry Is in the right end & his Sister Mary is in the left end of the Photo. He was always called by his middle name, Harvey.

HOW WE SURVIVE:
If we are fortunate, we are given a warning.
If not, there is only the sudden horror, The wrench of being torn apart; of being reminded that nothing is permanent, not even the ones we love, the ones our lives revolve around.
Life is a fragile affair. One by one, we lose those we love most. So we must cherish them without reservation. Now...Today....This minute.. We will lose them someday, or they will lose us. This is certain. There is no time for bickering.
Their loss will leave a great pit in our hearts. A pit we struggle to avoid during the day, and fall into at night. That black pit of shock, denial, the empty aching, the sleepless nights.
Somehow we survive and like a flower opening after a storm, we slowly begin to remember the one we lost in a different way. The laughter, the generous heart, The way their smile made us feel, the encouragement they gave. In time we fill the pit with other memories, the only memories that really matter. We will cry, but with loving reflection. And that is how we survive. That is how they would want it to be.
