The Bakersfield Californian 
Clark, John Franklin     
1919 - 2005 
 
John Franklin Clark 
May 5, 1919 - Dec. 16, 2005 

John Franklin Clark was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa. His parents were Earl Bayer 
and Eva Lucille Clark. John was always very proud of being the grandson of the 
first settlers of Madison County, Iowa, Ruth and Caleb Clark. John attended 
Harlan High School in Iowa and attended Phillips University. Shortly after 
college, he and Lucille Marie Miller married in 1937. At the beginning of 
World War II, John enlisted in the Army Air Corp as a propeller specialist and 
instructor. He was stationed in India. After World War II, he and Lucille 
settled in Redwood City where he worked for Remington Rand. In 1954, they 
moved to Delano where they owned and operated Clarks Delano Office Supply for 
25 years. Some of Johns happiest moments after retirement were spent living in 
Cambria and San Simeon and working at Hearst Castle as a Docent. John passed 
away peacefully on December 16, 2005 in Bakersfield, California. He was 
preceded in death by his lovely wife, of 65 years, Lucille. He is survived by 
his son and daughter-in-law, Ron and Jean Clark and by his daughter and son-in-
law, Jeanne and Danny Elliott, 5 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. 
After their move back to Bakersfield in 1991, due to poor health, John and 
Lucille were visited daily by family members. John was devoted to his family 
as they were to him. He will be missed by friends and family alike.
