THE CARTER COUNTY HERALD, December 7, 1933
IN MEMORIAM J. M.
CLARK
J. M. Clark, son of John and Elizabeth
Clark, was born near Smoky Valley Carter county Kentucky November 15, 1859;
departed this life November 29, 1933, aged 74 years and 4 days. He was joined in
matrimony to Mary Logan, daughter of John And Elizabeth Logan in February, 1995
(that's what it said, I'm not sure if meant 1895 or 1885). To this union was
born two children, one dying at birth.
He leaves to
mourn his departure his wife, Mary Clark, a daughter Mrs. Oscar Lemaster, two
granddaughters, Shirley H. and Avalon, O. Lemasters; three brother, J. J. and
James Clark, Charters, Ky., and Frank Clark, Kinney, Ky.; two sisters, Mrs.
William Conliff, New Boston, Ohio and Lucinda Logan of Illinois. A number of
nephews and nieces.
Mr. Clark had been afflicted for
a number of years with paralysis and other diseases. In the last year he had
been very feeble, leaving his bed but very little. He was seriously ill about
two weeks. Twenty-four hours before the final call, he gave the ones around him
his request as to his burial place, etc., and said a number of time "I am going
home to rest." With these words and the quiet way he passed away, we feel he
found peace.
The remains were laid to rest in
Logan Cemetery November 30, Rev. Wm. Webb conducting the burial service. His
passing away leaves a great vacancy in our homes. We wish to express our thanks
to the friends, each and every one, that so kindly assisted in caring for him in
his last days, death and burial. Wife and daughter Mrs. Mary Clark and Mrs.
Oscar Lemaster.
