The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, October 27, 1938
The funeral services for Frank W. Clark were held Monday at the home of his 
daughter Mrs. Glenn Perkins, in Hastings, and burial was at Lakeside cemetery 
in Lake Odessa beside his wife.  Mr. Clark was born July 12, 1851 in Ohio and 
came to Michigan at the age of two years.  His parents settled on the land now 
known as the Ora Bachelder farm and built the present house.

In 1873 Mr. Clark married Ann Tupper the daughter of another pioneer 
resident.  (The one for whom our Tupper lake and street were named.)  Four 
daughters were born to this union; Florence—Mrs. Shirley Lepard died last 
March; Mrs. Zella Olmstead of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Josephine Koch of Clark, and 
Mrs. Glenn Perkins of Hastings.

Mr. Clark left Lake Odessa in 1908, going to make his home with his daughter 
Mrs. Perkins, where he died Saturday leaving the three daughters, 20 
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren besides a sister Mrs. C. D. 
Roberts of Barryton and a number of nieces and nephews.  Two brothers, Seth 
and George, were prominent in the early history of this town and community.

Mr. Clark was affiliated with Frank Nims in the elevator here, was president 
of the village, and served as postmaster for ten years beginning in McKinley’s 
administration.
