Ionia Sentinel – 27 February 1928
Funeral services will be attended Tuesday at 1 o’clock from the home in Keene 
Township, for Arthur B. Clark, who was killed late Saturday at Saranac when a 
horse he was driving plunged into the path of the west-bound afternoon Grand 
Trunk passenger train.  Death was instantaneous for Mr. Clark who was dragged 
some distance in the wreckage of his buggy which was demolished.  The horse 
was killed.  Burial will be either in the old Sebewa cemetery or at Lake 
Odessa.

Mr. Clark had been in Saranac after supplies and was starting on his way home 
with his purchases, to his farm three miles northwest of the village.  The 
train does not stop at Saranac but travels through the village at high speed.  
Either Mr. Clark did not see the warning flashing of the electric signal at 
the crossing or he was unable to bring his horse to a stop.  A coroner’s jury 
was impaneled the members being John Adgate, Lewis Blasen, J. A. Page, Sherman 
Eddy, M. B. Wilkinson, and Charles Locher, Justice Allen E. Cobb will hold an 
inquest.

Mr. Clark, who was 60 years of age, leaves a wife and two sons, Faye of Keene 
and Floyd, who lives near White’s Bridge.  Also surviving are a brother, Elmer 
of Battle Creek, and two sisters, Mrs. Alice VanMoulen of Lake Odessa; and 
Mrs. Effie Hunt of Grand Ledge.
