General Notes: Husband - Hon. George Stephenson Clark

---

He was born at St. Catharine's, Canada, and was but eight years of age when his parents took up their residence in Holmesburg, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Prof. Wall's Classical School, Holmesburg, at Rev. Dr. T. H. Wells's Boarding School, Andalusia, Bucks County, the Episcopal Academy, Philadelphia, and at the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania. His legal preceptor was David W. Sellers, Esq., and he was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar, in 1871. Mr. Clark represented the Twenty-third Legislature District, Pennsylvania Legislature, in 1881-83. He was a vestryman of Emmanuel Church, a trustee of the Lower Dublin Academy, a trustee of the Holmesburg Athenxum Association, all of which offices might almost be said to be hereditary in his own and his wife's families. He was also a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion.
In 1879 he purchased of the heirs of his grandfather, "Bellevue," the old Crispin homestead on the Welsh road, so long the residence of his wife's ancestors, and retained it until 1884. He afterwards purchased the handsome residence surrounded by extensive grounds at Decatur street and Delaware avenue, Holmesburg, built by Andreas Hartel. The house originally faced Delaware avenue, but was moved to face Decatur street.
