Jackson Argus – Week of February 21, 1896
Judge Clark’s Death

In the death of Judge Richard H. Clark, of Atlanta, Georgia lost one of her
bravest and purest sons.   A great and good man has gone from among men to join
the throng across the river.  His life was one of continued usefulness and good
deeds.   There were very few such men as Judge Clark before his death.   In his
official capacity he was brought in contact with the woes and miseries of life.
 He sternly obey the summons of duty through all of his dealing were tempered
with mercy and moderation.   His brilliant intellect and natural sunny
disposition made him a favorite wherever he went.  Always full of life and
making others happy by deeds of kindness and humanity.

When prisoners were brought into this presence they were sure of merciful and
just treatment at his hands, nor did he ever use his position to add one pang of
sorrow to any condemned man.

He wore the ermine with all dignity and never was any position more honored than
the one he held.  He will be greatly missed from among the legal councils of the
State, but the memory of this man will be cherished as a sweet habit of the blest.

Long may his influence be with us and let the light of his life continue to lead
others to the divine path of duty while engaged in the toilsome duties of this
earthly life.
