The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, 3 Jan 1883
  CLARKE.—Died, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Jos. C. Brailley, 
Huntsville, Ala., Jan’y 3, 1883, Capt. William Clarke, in his 63rd year.
  Capt. Clarke was a native of Madison Co., Ala., and was our school-mate over 
50 years ago.  He was frank, generous, warm-hearted.  He was a gallant, 
chivalrous Confederate soldier, and, for four years, served as captain in the 
17th Tennessee regiment, commanded by Colonel (afterwards Governor) Marks.  He 
was planting, last year, in the Mississippi bottoms below Memphis, was taken 
ill with malarial fever a few weeks ago, went to Memphis, and was so prostrated 
that his son, Richard Clarke, brought him to his sister’s last Saturday, where 
he died to-day.  Tears to his memory and sincere sympathy for his relatives!
