OBITUARY OF W. I. CLARK.
Lake Park, Iowa.

W. I. Clark, who came here some two months ago from New Albin, Iowa, to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. Arthur May, passed peacefully away at her home Tuesday noon, April 9th. Mr. Clark was in failing health with that dreaded disease, cancer, and was tenderly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. May, and son, Edwin Clark, of this place.

William Clark was born July 26, 1856, at Waukon, Iowa. When a young man he moved to Esterville, where he engaged in the mercantile business for several years.

In 1896 he returned to his old home in Allamakee county, making his home at New Albin.

He is survived by his wife, two children, Mrs. Arthur May, and Edwin Clark and four grandchildren, all of Lake Park; also one sister, Mrs. Dora Cavin of Spokane, Washington. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the May home, conducted by Rev. J. Buthman, and burial made in the Silver lake Cemetery. Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved family.
