Adrian Daily Telegrah, Sat. Sept. 28, 1901 - pg 4
ROBERT VREELAND CLARK

Another home was darkened Friday night by the entrance of death.  Shortly 
before 8 o'clock Robert Vreeland Clark passed to the land beyond.  The 
transition was peaceful, just the home going of a weary soul, weary of the 
ills of this life, at peace with the world in which he fain would have 
lingered, and at peace with his Saviour.  Robert was born at Allen, Mich., 
August 7, 1878, but has lived most of his life in Adrian, his father dying 
nearly 20 yhears ago.  He was educated in our public schools and would have 
graduated in '95 had it not been for ill health.  Five years ago last June he 
contracted pneumonia and in the fall was taken with hemorrhages, necessitating 
a trip to a warmer clime.  Five winters and two summers since he has passed in 
Florida, but to no avail.  His natural abiity, coupled with his ambition, made 
it possible for him to assume the charge of the commercial department of 
Rollin's college at Winter Park, Fla., which position he filled with credit, 
instituting a banking department therein, giving the department a general 
impetus.  In addition he taught the mandolin and violin and had charge of a 
dormitory.  He was highly thought of by the management, by his co-laborers and 
the pupils.  Since his home coming in the middle of May he has been failing 
gradually, though he struggled ever so bravely to regain his health.  He has 
had every care, but his recovery was not to be.  He died with tuberculosis.  
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary Vreeland Clark, three half brothers 
and one half sister, namely:  Geo. Clark, of Allen; Adelbert, operator at 
Bronson; Frank, of California, and Mrs. McTaggart, of Chicago.  He was a 
dutiful, loving son, bright and full of life when well, highly esteemed by his 
friends.  The services will be conducted from 87 East Maumee street, where 
Mrs. Clark now resides, at 2:30 standard time, Monday.
