MRS. HARRIET CLARK Mrs. Harriet Clark, an old resident of

She was born July 4th, 1825, at Duredale, Yorkshire, England,
near Hudersfield. She was the tenth child and the oldest
daughter in a family of thirteen children born to Mr. and Mrs.
John Hobsen. At the age of 21, in the year 1846, she gave her
hand in marriage to John G. Clark at Peniston church, England.
Two years later, Aug. 12th, they came to America and settled
on Albion Prairie, where they lived the remainder of their
days. Mr. Clark was called by the anfel of death April 30th,
1880, leaving a patient and affectionate wife with seven
children to mourn his loss. During her years of widowhood she
was known by all to be a kind and patient Christian and passed
away with the smile of her Maker resting upon her. A short
funeral service was held at her daughter's, Mrs. Croft in
Edgerton. From there the remains were taken to the old
homestead at Albion Prairie, where another short service was
held with song and prayer and an address by J.R. Lindsley. The
abundance of flowers which covered the coffin, in part
expressed the love cherished in the hearts of children and
friends for a kind neighbor and a loving and loved mother. She
was laid to rest by the side of her husband in Albion Prairie
cemetery.
