The Fairfield Recorder - 9 Jan 1891 edition

Mr. C. C. Clark, the jeweler who has been in town several months died last 
Thursday night at Mr. A. Adkins. He had been in bad health several months 
with an affection of the kidney and bowels and for the last few weeks he
failed very fast. Seeing his condition, Mr. Adkins kindly took him to his
house and gave him all the attention he could knowing he was poor and needy.
The deceased had relatives in Dawson and Americus, Georgia who heard of his
condition and wrote to Mr. W. D. Pittman about him but their letters were not
received until after he died. The deceased was rather reticent about his 
relatives and never talked much about them. Their whereabouts was learned only
by writing to a jeweler in Americus, Georgia for whom Mr. Clark had worked.
His aunt (who raised him) a cultivated and refined lady, wrote a feeling letter
here about him saying she would soon send money for him to return to her. His
remains were buried Wednesday in the Fairfield Cemetery.
