DAVID WALTER CLARK has been identified with agricultural pursuits in Imperial
County since 1911. It is readily conceded that the rapid growth of Imperial
County and its cities is due to the intelligent efforts of its ranchers. One of
the men who stand high in his locality is David Walter Clark, owning forty acres
of land on the Star route. He was born at Grand Junction, Colorado, August 6,
1877, a son of David Thomas and Isidora (Haskell) Clark. His father is a
resident of Denver and is a prominent sheepman of Colorado. Mr. Clark received
his education in the public schools of Grand Junction and is a graduate of the
high school of that city. Mr. Clark engaged in stock raising and continued in
this business until he removed to Imperial County. On his arrival here he
purchased forty acres and engaged in the dairy business. He rents eighty acres
which he uses for pasture, and has a string of forty-five cows in addition to
other stock. Fraternally Mr. Clark is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge of Grand
Junction, Colorado, and holds membership in the B. P. O. E. He was united in
marriage at Grand Junction, Colorado, December 19, 1901, with Miss Pearl E.
Powelson, a daughter of Rev. B. F. and Mersylvia (Austin) Powelson. Mrs. Clark's
father was formerly a minister of the First Presbyterian church of Grand
Junction, Colorado. His death occurred in 1915. Mr. Powelson is buried at
Boulder, Colorado. Mrs. Clark's mother is a resident of Boulder, Colorado. To
Mr. and Mrs. Clark have been born one daughter, Cornelia. Mr. Clark can always
be counted upon in the furtherance of any plan for the advancement of his locality.
