McCreary County Record
November 3, 1942

OLDEST CITIZEN IN COUNTY EXPIRES

Henry Clark, the oldest citizen in McCreary county died Friday 
at one o'clock at the home of his son-in-law, Dan Keith, at 
Flat Rock, after a life filled with activity and interesting 
experiences. His Civil War discharge papers give his age at 97, 
but his family say that he put his age up a year in order to 
get into the Civil War so that actually he was only 96 at the 
time of his death. Mr. Clark's health was splendid and he was 
able to get around as well as the younger generation until 
about four months ago when his condition made him bed ridden.

He is survived by eight daughters, numerous grandchildren and 
great grandchildren, the majority of whom live in this and 
Wayne county.

Burial was at the Freedom cemetery in Wayne county on Saturday 
afternoon. Due to the inclement weather funeral services will 
be held at a later date.

The Record hopes to carry more of the life of this interesting 
character at an early date.
