Clark, William T.-- Upon the successful farmer depends, in a large measure, the material well being of the country, for it is to his efforts that all occupations and professions must depend for all existence. The subject of this mention belongs to that large class of successful tillers of the soil who have done so much toward the development of our noble state, and particularly that part embraced within the present limits of Delaware county. William T. Clark was born in Delaware county, Ind., March 4, 1847, the son of James and Hester (Goble} Clark, natives respectively of Ohio and Pennsylvania. He grew to manhood amid the active scenes of farm life, and his inclinations leading him to agricultural pursuits, he early became a tiller of the soil and has devoted his entire time and attention to that useful and honorable occupation. He owns seventy-three acres of land in Monroe township, which is well improved, and he is surrounded by many of the modern conveniences of farming which bespeak the presence of a careful and painstaking manager. Mr. Clark has been twice married, the first time on the 24th of December, 1882, to Nancy E., daughter of John and Barbara Lambert, who died October 1, 1884. The second marriage was consummated May 17, 1887, with Nancy Moffet, daughter of Lambert and Maria Moffet. Mrs. Clark's parents were natives of Ohio, but moved from Tennessee when quite young to Fayette county, Ind., where they were married and where they resided until their deaths, the mother dying September 30, 1887, and father on the 7th day of February, 1892. They reared a family of eleven children, namely: Mary, wife of Abraham Pence; Samuel C., Susan M., wife of D. C. Campbell; James A., Sarah, deceased; William H., deceased; Nancy E., wife of William Clark; Jemima A., wife of Henry Stewart: John T., and Clarinda, wife of Thomas Barret. Mrs. Clark's parents were earnest christian people, the mother having belonged to the United Brethren church and the father to the Lutheran denomination. Mrs. Clark owns eighty acres of fine land in this township, which she inherited from her parents. She is the mother of one living child, Dayton Ray, and one deceased, Irven M.

Cowan, Indiana - Cowan, down in the south central portion of the county in Monroe township, four or five miles south of Muncie, was the next townsite to get a place on the plat book. It was platted, and so recorded, as Cowen, but the maps and gazetteer now make it Cowan. The townsite was laid out by Charles McCowen, Noah Harrold, Milo Harrold and John Rinker on November 5, 1869. The original plat covers a tract of 7.22 acres, containing three blocks, two on the east side of the railway survey line and one on the west, the line of the old Cincinnati, Muncie & Ft. Wayne railway practically following the section line and the center of Monroe street, the chief street east and west, being the line dividing sections 9 and 16 of township 19, range 10. The north and south streets of the plat are Colfax and Grant. Provision is made in the plat for a warehouse and railway depot grounds.
