Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, March 28, 1872 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituaries - Lewis C. Clark, of Richland, was born in Vernon, New York, November 4, 1803, and died of paralysis, March 20, 1872, aged 68 years. Mr. Clark came to this town from Oneida County in 1825, and settled on the farm where he died. As a man, he was upright and honest in all his business transactions. As a farmer, he was above the average in management of husbandry, as his farm is among the best in town, demonstrates. He was thrice married, and raised a family of 13 children, 6 of whom, with his widow, survive him. As a Christian, Bro. Clark was active, consistent, devoted, a true friend of the church of his choice. He has been a Methodist, more than 45 years. He was made a class leader in 1830, which office he has filled ever since with great acceptability. He was one of the first trustees appointed at the building of the first Methodist Church erected in this village, which office he has held ever since. He was also an efficient steward, and in everything pertaining to the interest of the church he was foremost, true, and reliable. Truly an affectionate husband and father, a good citizen, a ripe Christian, and will be greatly missed by his family, the community and the church; but he rests in peace, and the memory of the just is blessed. W. Watson.
