Last Tuesday A.J. Clark, one of Holton's oldest and most highly respected citizens, died suddenly of heart disease, at Uncle Tommy Adamson's news stand, about 11 o'clock a.m. He had been apparently in his usual health, but just as he stepped into the room, he put his hand to his left side and complained of great pain, and sank into a chair. Mr. R.M. Cook, seeing he was dangerously ill, ran for a physician, but before one could be brought, Mr. Clark ceased to breathe.
Mr. Clark was born in Bainbridge, Ohio, January 23, 1816, and moved from there to Putnamville, Indiana in 1836. In the year 1869 he removed to this county and settled on a farm on Banner Creek, six miles west of Holton, where he has since lived.
He leaves a venerable wife, whose maiden name was Harriet Mann, and to whom he has been married over half a century. To them have been born eleven children, ten of whom survive. Of these, seven are living in this county, six of whom are married. Two live in Indiana and one in Wyoming.
The deceased has for fifty years been a faithful consistent member of the Methodist Church. While living on Banner he was one of the leading official members, and the building up of that prosperous, growing society is largely due to his zealous efforts. Since he has lived in Holton, his seat in the church has seldom been vacant. As a citizen and neighbor he was quiet and unassuming, but always to be trusted, hence he has always enjoyed the respect and confidence of his neighbors.
The bereaved family, especially the aged wife and single daughter, have the warm sympathy and condolence of this entire community, and as well, that of their friends and acquaintances in Grant township.
