James Clark, a former resident of Cottage Hill, a notice of whose death was published in our columns two weeks ago, was a brother-in-law of P. T. Vickery, of this city, who has handed in a copy of the Baldwin Ledger containing an obituary from which we copy the following:
"James Clark was born in Colunbia [sic] county, Pa., Jan. 23, 1841, and died at Baldwin, Kas., Sept. 18, 1915. He was one of nine children of Wm Clark, for long years a local preacher in the Methodist church. When he was about nine years old the family moved to Illinois. He was soundly converted at the age of 19 at an old fashioned camp meeting and joined the Methodist church, of which he was a consistent member until the time of his death. He enlisted in the 102d Illinois Infantry in August 1862, and served until his regiment was mustered out in June,1865. He was severely wounded while on picket duty near Atlanta, Ga, and was in the hospital while his regiment was with Sherman on his march to the sea. After the close of the war he returned to Illinois, where he was married to Emma L. Vickery on Christmas Day 1866. To this union six children were born, Lura E. Rice, Charles Fletcher Clark, William M. Clark, Luella E. McKibbin, George M. Clark and Leila E. Anderson. George died in 1898 and Fletcher in 1900. The other four, with his wife, nine grandchildren and four sisters mourn his death. In the spring of 1873 he, with his wife and two small children, moved to Marshall county, Kansas, where he took up a homestead in Cottage Hill township, remaining on it until 1888, when he moved to Baldwin, where he resided until his death. While a resident of Cottage Hill he took the lead in organizing the Methodist church in that township, filling the positions of class leader and Sunday school superintendent. To secure a better education for his children he moved to Baldwin, and four of them have graduated from Baker University. He took a leading place in church and local affairs at Baldwin, so much so that when his funeral was held the business houses of the city closed their doors."
