   CORNELIUS CLARK. retired farmer, Vanlue, born in Fairfield County, Ohio,
January 12, 1804, is a son of Horatio and Rebecca (Lane) Clark, natives of
Pennsylvania, whose parents came to Ohio in 1799 and purchased 640 acres of land
in what is now Bloom Township, Fairfield County, and remained there until their
death. Their children, ten in number, were reared on the banks of Walnut Creek.
The lands entered by Horatio Clark are held by the Clark family to-day. For some
years there were two Indian villages near the Clark homestead. Cornelius Clark,
now in his eighty-second year, is an intelligent old gentleman, full of life and
vigor. He married, in 1826, Elizabeth Stephens, who bore him thirteen children.
She died in December, 1883. Those of their children still living are Lewis C.,
