DIED - At Altoona, on the 4th inst., Lieut. Robert J. Clark, formerly
of Rockdale, Delaware county, in the twenty fourth year of his age.
At the commencement of the rebellion, Lieut. Clark enlisted in the
three months service as a private, and at the expiration of that time
he re-enlisted for three years.  His bravery and good behavior gained
for him a Lieutenancy.  At the battles near Spottsylvania, he fought
nobly for seven days, and on the morning of the eighth day, at 8
o'clock, he was wounded.  He was beloved by all who knew him, and has
left a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.  While we mourn for
him on earth, we should not forget that our loss is his eternal gain.
