Author: H. W. Beckwith (1881)

   C. W. Clark (deceased) was one of Covington's active business men, and was
born in Fountain county in 1838, his parents being among the early settlers of
the county. His father was engaged in farming, which business the subject of
this brief memoir followed during his early life. His education was received in
the subscription schools of that period; and through his aptitude for reading
and study, and his own efforts, he acquired a fair education. Becoming well
known in this respect, he was elected to the office of township trustee. His
first engaging in business in Covington was in the handling of lime, and a
partial supply of builders' materials, to which he subsequently added a full
stock of lumber. This business he conducted alone until the fall of 1879, when
his brother became associated with him. They continued together until the death
of, Charles W., which occurred a few months after the partnership had been
formed. Mr. Clark was married, in 1873, to Miss Julia, daughter of Mr. John
Barkley, who is one of the pioneers of Covington. Their union was blessed with
one child, a handsome little girl, born in January 1878. Mrs. Clark still
resides in Covington, and is one of the estimable and respected ladies of the city.
