Stamford Soldiers' Memorial 1869
  JOHN S. CLARK, Corp. Co. D, 6th Conn., son of John Clark, and born in New York
City in 1844. The family had been living here several years when the war began,
and he was one of our earliest volunteers. After serving out his first term
honorably, he as cheerfully re-enlisted, and in the thirteenth battle in which
he was engaged, he was killed, probably by a sharpshooter, Aug. 16, 1864, at
Strawberry Plains. His record as a soldier was one of our best; and the high
esteem in which he was held was fully deserved. No report was received of him
after the action in which he fell. Thus died this patriot youth at the early age
of seventeen.
