Ionia Daily Standard, 14 & 16 Dec 1891

Peter Clark died this morning.  He had been very feeble for some time, and his 
death was due to old age.  Mr. Clark was born in Steuben county, N.Y., Aug. 10, 
1811.  He came to Michigan in 1836; to Boston, Ionia county, 1847, and to Ionia 
city in 1864.  His wife died in 1847.  He leaves three daughters: Mary E., wife 
of A. A. Knight, Martha, wife of Judson Clark of Orange; and Almira, wife of E. 
Wykes, Owosso.  The funeral will take place from Mr. Knight’s residence, High 
street, Wednesday afternoon.

----

The funeral of Mr. Peter F. Clark took place from the residence of his 
daughter, Mrs. A. A. Knight, High street, at 1:30 this afternoon.  The services 
were conducted by Rev. Dr. J. T. Oxtoby, of the Presbyterian church, and were 
largely attended by friends and neighbors.  The interment was in the city 
cemetery.

Mr. Clark, whose death occurred on Monday morning, was an old and well known 
resident of our city.  He was a native of Steuben county, N.Y., and came to 
Michigan at an early day (in 1836) and was one of the pioneers of Ionia, moving 
into Otisco in 1847, and has been a resident of this city since 1864.

He early identified himself with the temperance cause and has been its ardent 
friend and advocate for many years. 

He was a good citizen, a faithful Christian, and at a ripe old age has gone to 
his rest.
