Obituary
Mr. Malcolm Clark
Died at his residence in this city on Sunday, March 8th, 1903, Mr. Malcolm Clark, aged 68 years, 1 month and 21 days.
Mr. Clark was born in Perth, Canada, January 17, 1835, and moved to St. Charles, Minn. with his parents in 1855. In 1858 or 59 in company with several others he made the overland trip to California and after remaining there something over two years, returned to Minnesota.
On August 15th, 1862, be enlisted as Sergeant in Company D 7th Minnesota and for meritorious service was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant of the same company April 15, 1865, and received his honorable discharge in August of the same year.
He was united in marriage June 9th, 1868, to Evaline Ruth Lyon at the home of her parents at St. Charles, Minn., and moved directly onto his farm near this city. In Sept. 1890 they moved to this city, where he resided at the time of his death. Four children were born to them, one son and three daughters. His wife and three daughters, Mrs. Winnie C. Hogle of this city, Mrs. Margaret M. Cool of McIntire Iowa, and Miss Georgie A. Clark of this city survive him.
July 23rd, 1868, he was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in Rising Sun Lodge No. 49 of St. Charles, and was made a Royal Arch Mason sometime later in Orient Chapter No. 19 and was a faithful and constant member at the time of his death. He was also a honored member of Henry Morton Post No. 87 G.A.R.
He was an exemplary citizen, king and indulgent husband and father. He was never so happy as when joking some one of his many friends and was always "Mack" to everyone, from the smallest tot to the gray haired grand-parents, and many a little mouth can testify to the "sweet" thoughtfulness of "Uncle Mack". His older friends will long miss him from their midst and his relatives sincerely mourn his loss.
His remains were carried to Hillside cemetery and deposited by the side of his little boy who had gone before. The services were conducted by the Masons of this city and were strictly in conformity with his oft repeated request.
His family desire to thank their many friends who so kindly assisted then in their trouble.
