The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 21, 1917
Mr. W. H. Clark Passed Away Wednesday Night

Mr. W. H. Clark passed away at his home in this city last Wednesday evening 
about 8:20 o'clock after an illness of several months duration.  He was taken 
to his bed about ten days ago and gradually grew worse, yet everything that 
could be done for a man was rendered this gentleman.  Mr. Clark had spent 
several months this year in Atlanta and at different springs in search of 
health, but failed to get relief.  The cause of his death was due to heart 
trouble.

Mr. Clark had been a resident of Cairo about seven years, having been one of 
the owners of the Kelley-Clark Lumber Company at Gradyville.  He was a former 
resident of Dothan, Ala.  He had been connected with the well known family of 
Kelleys in the lumber business for nearly twenty years, and he will be sadly 
missed, by not only his family, but in the Kelley family, who had always been 
close to him.  Mr. Clark, had he lived until the 22nd of next March, would have 
been fifty years of age.

The funeral services were conducted from the family residence in this city at 
10:30 o'clock Thursday morning by Dr. J. A. Wynne and Rev. J. G. Christian, 
being attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.  The 
remains were carried to Dothan, Ala. on the ten-thirty train Thursday, his body 
being laid to rest in the cemetery at that place at four o'clock yesterday 
afternoon.

Mr. Clark is survived by his wife, three sons, one daughter, four brothers and 
three sisters, besides many relatives and friends.  He was a member of the 
local lodge F. & A. M. and was also a member of the Shriners.

The Messenger extends condolence to the bereaved ones in this hour of sad 
affliction.
