DIES IN CANADA

Birmingham, Iowa, May 12 - Thomas Clark died at his home in Zealandia, Saskatchewan, Canada, May 3, 1914, after an illness of only a few hours. He was [born] in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, August 2, 1852, [being] 69 years and 9 months of [age] at the time of his death. [He] was married to Miss Mar[?] Rose Torrence in 1874 in [Bir]mingham, Iowa. He leaves [to m]orn [sic] his loss the widow, five [chil]dren and eight grandchildren. [He u]nited with the Presbyterian [churc]h at Murraysville, Penn., [at] twenty-seven years of age. [Mr. Cla]rk also leaves two broth[ers] [cut-off] K. Clark of Cantril [cut-off]

This copy of the obit is ragged around the left and bottom margins. I have shown my interpretation in brackets. Also see brother John K. Clark's obit who died a few weeks later which shows additional information. Also note that birth and death dates do not equal Thomas' age given.

(Photocopy of this obit is located on page 93 of Obit Book A found in the Van Buren County, Iowa Genealogical Society's collection at the Keosauqua Public Library in March 2000. Name and date of newspaper not given.)

I am NOT related to this person and am posting it for those who may find him/her in their family tree.
