  Emily P. Clarke, daughter of Alonzo D. C. and Phoebe A. Barber, was born in the town of Scott, Cortland Co., N. Y., August 20, 1841, and died at the home of her son, Roscoe A. Clarke, Alfred Station, June 1, 1912.
  On December 29, 1860, she was married to Charles Eugene Clarke, who died May 13, 1876.   To them were born six children, five of whom are still living: George S. of Chicago, Ill., Roscoe A., Alvah H. and Mrs. Archie S. Gould of Alfred Station, and Mrs. Irwin H. Babcock of DeRuyter, N. Y.   The other children died in infancy.
  Sister Clarke, in early life, was converted to Christ and joined the Scott Seventh-day Baptist Church, with which she retained her membership till the end came.   Sunny and cheerful in her disposition, faithful in her church and society duties, she lived a happy Christian life.
  For some years after her husband's death she lived with her mother, with some of her children about her.   Since that time she has been tenderly and cheerfully cared for in the home of her son Roscoe and her two married daughters.   Much of this time she has been unable to distinguish light from darkness, so she has literally been walking in "the valley of the shadow of death"; but now, as we trust, she has come into the bright light of the eternal city.
  Memorial services were held at the home of her son Roscoe, June 4, 1912, and in the absence of her pastor, Rev. I. L. Cottrell, the services were conducted by the writer, and her remains were laid at rest in the Burdick Cemetery, a beautiful spot in Railroad Valley, town of Alfred, N. Y.     B. F. Rogers.
