JOHN CLARK

John Clark, of Tyler, was born in Pike county, Miss., May 15, 1828, and 
removed to Texas in 1859. Enlisted in Company A, Fourth Texas Infantry, 
Hood's Brigade, and served in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was wounded 
at second Manassas, Gettysburg, and seriously wounded at Chickamauga. He was 
a veteran under Longstreet, noted for gallantry throughout the campaigns in 
which he participated, and served until the battle of Chickamauga, where he 
was so severely wounded that he was kept from further active service. On 
January 10, 1851, he was married to Miss Martha Anderson, of Mississippi, 
and are honored citizens of Tyler. They have two sons, Robert and Jeff, 
business men of Dallas, and a daughter, Maranda, who is the wife of - - 
-Hodge. Mr. Clark is a grand old Confederate, and his heart swells with 
emotion when talking of the turbulent war scenes of the early sixties.
