J. D. Clark

Funeral services for J. D. Clark, aged 80, pioneer Hunt County citizen, who
died at his home at Kingston early Saturday night, were held at 2:00 PM this
afternoon. Rev. McDonald, pastor of the Baptist Church at Celeste conducted
the services; interment followed in McWright Cemetery.

Mr. Clark was born on December 30, 1854 in Park County, Alabama, and came to
Texas some thirty-five years ago, settling near Kingston in Hunt County. He
has resided in and near Kingston all these years, rearing his family at that
point where he owns considerable farming interests.

He was one of the county’s outstanding and most prominent citizens. In his
active life, he always took a great interest in civic and political matters
and was a leader in his community for good.

Mr. Clark is survived by five sons and one daughter, as follows: E. H. Clark
of Brooklyn, New York; A. B. Clark of Fort Worth; E. J. Clark, O. F. Clark,
and J. L. Clark of Kingston, who made their home with their father; and Mrs.
E. K. Price of this city. The wife and mother passed to her reward last May.

Also four brothers and four sisters: Jessie Clark and Willie Clark of Celeste;
Tom Clark and J. W. Clark of this city, and Mrs. Tipp and Mrs. Barnhardt of
Celeste; Mrs. Herndon of this city, and Miss Joe Clark of Kingston.

The family has the sincere sympathy of their many friends in this hour of
sadness. (Undated Hopewell clipping)
