General Notes: Husband - Col. David S. Clark

---

He worked on his father's farm until fifteen years of age. In 1831, he came to Erie City, Pennsylvania, and lived with his brother, James S. Clark, four years, and then followed mercantile business until 1852, in which year he retired, and soon after occupied himself in the building of the First Presbyterian Church. From 1860 to 1864, he devoted himself to oil refining in partnership with George Seldon and John H. Bliss. For two years following, he operated the oil refinery by himself. In 1840, Mr. Clark was elected Maj. of the 104th Reg. Penn. Militia, and in 1842 was elected by the votes of the regiment, and commissioned by Gov. Porter to the Colonelcy.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church (he beginning in 1842); he was President of the Board of Trustees three years, and in 1857 was elected Elder; was also Manager of the Erie Cemetery several years. In politics, he was a Democrat.
