The Portland Observer, Wednesday, November 30, 1904
Clark Pierce, whom the Observer said last week could not possibly survive but 
a few hours at that time, died Wednesday forenoon, aged 66 years.  He had been 
sick several months and his death was looked for long before it came.

He was born in Livingston county, Mich., in 1838, and for several years after 
he was 18 taught school and engaged in farming.  He was possessed of an 
education far beyond the average of farmers of those days and for several 
years was supervisor.  He came to Danby in 1866 and resided there until 1899 
when he came to Portland village, where he died.  The farm upon which he 
settled in Danby he owned at the time of his death.

He was twice married, the second wife and an adopted daughter, Mrs. Dee Shuart 
of Grand Ledge surviving.  

Clark Pierce was an honorable man; he was a good citizen and a good neighbor, 
and he made few enemies and many friends, and when he died he left as about as 
clean a page in an individual life as any man could.

Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev Buell last Friday 
afternoon.  Burial was made in Portland cemetery.
