EDWARD M CLARK

The sad intelligence reached here on Tuesday, that Edw. M. CLARK died
at his home in Hermann, MO., on the 30th of Nov. 1891, from typhoid
fever. The deceased was reared in this county, and from this place
enlisted in the 7th Missouri Cavalry. In 1869 he was married to Mary A.
Gibson, daughter of Dr. Alexander Gibson of this place, who bore him a
son and daughter, who are both living. He resided for several years in
Phelps county where he was elected clerk of the Circuit Court. He was
there admitted to the bar, but finally removed to Gasconade County
where he practiced his profession up to the time of his fatal illness.
He was an intelligent and able man, a genial and kindhearted citizen,
an indulgent father and a faithful husband. His remains were brought to
Steelville, and buried from the Baptist church on Wednesday.
