Frank J. Clark, member of a pioneer Madison county family, died at Memorial hospital in Winterset last Friday, July 30, at the age of 82 years.

Mr. Clark was a son of Rufus and Susan Clark. His father was one of the Clanton-Clark party of pioneers which was first to settle permanently in Madison County.

He is survived by a son, Otis Clark, at home; a daughter, Mrs. Eva Stevenson of Des Moines; and a sister, Mrs. Tom McCauley of Prole.
