Coldwater Republican, January 9, 1885
Milo Clark's Obituary, Coldwater Republican January 9, 1885, Branch County,
Michigan  

"We are sorry to announce the death of another of our best and most public
spirited citizens. Mr. Milo Clark died at his residence on West Chicago Street
at about 10 o'clock Tuesday evening of hemorrage of the lungs, from which he had
suffered several times within the past tow years. He had been at the concert of
Mrs. Whittaker's music class during the evening workin the scenery an was
apparently feeling well. Just at the close of the concert, as he had one of the
little children in his arms, he said, "I feel as though I am going to have a
bleeding spell"; and at once the blood began to flow. Friends were at hand and
he was instantly taken from the building his heart fairly pumping the blood out
of him at every step, spattering the floor of the opers house and leaving traces
of his course all the way across the street to his house. He was placed upon a
couch and within a few ninutes he was gone, his life fading away without pain.
Mr. Clark was 63 years old and was one of the pioneers of this county. He came
here with his father in the winter of 1836-37. After living here a few years he
went east to attend a medical college. After receiving his diploma, he settled
in Antwerp, Ohio, where he practiced medicine for several years, but gave up
practice on account of poor health and returned to this village where he has
since lived and gained many warm friends. The funeral will be held at the Opera
House on Friday at two o'clock p.m. where Mr. Clark has spent most of his time
for the last six months and has just completed a building, that will be an honor
to him and of which the people of this village can justly feel proud. His loss
will be much felt in this community. Mr. Clark was a member of the Masonic
Fraternity, and belonged to the Order of Knights Templar."
