ANDREW J. CLARK, a progressive farmer and large land owner of Pleasant Run
Township, was born May 30, 1844, in Lawrence County, Ind., and is the second
son in a family of nine children born to James and Mary (Helton) Clark, who
were natives of Kentucky and Indiana respectively.  Andrew J. secured only a
common school education and when rebellion was threatening to overthrow our
country, he went to the front and although yet a boy did effective service
in his country's cause as a member of Company G, Fiftieth Regiment Indiana
Volunteer Infantry.  Early in 1861 was the date of his enlistment, and
January 7, 1865, the date of his discharge.  Mr. Clark has followed
agricultural pursuits through life and by industry and good management has
secured 515 acres of good land. As a Democrat in politics, he has served his
township as Assessor with credit, and in matters of a laudable public
character he is ever ready to lend a helping hand.  July 27, 1865, he was
married to Miss Mary A. Kinser, who was born December 15, 1842, to Hezekiah
and Mary (Hellenberg) Kinser, and by her is the father of this family:
Dawson L., David M., Dalton N., Dorothy O., Dora P., Daisy Q. (deceased),
Dilesta R. and Dilland S.
