Vincent W. Clark who died Thursday of last week was one of Montgomery County’s best citizens. A man whose life was full of energy and zeal. He was well known throughout the county, especially among the farmers, for his ambition and good judgment carried him far beyond the ordinary in this occupation. He was once a prominent member of the Montgomery County Agricultural Society but on account of his mature years he desired only to be a stockholder, yet ever since he has held the worth position of honorary member. He lived and worked with a system, his large farm being known as one of the most scientific and best improved places in the county. He was married to Nancy E. Rogers over 50 years ago and they together have spent a long life of business and pleasure. While they have not been devoid of discouragement and trouble, yet the father was the first of the immediate family to be taken. The five daughters have all married. Mrs. Butler; Mrs. Sayers and the only son are at present living at the old homestead. Their congenial home and pleasant surroundings have been incentives to only increase the harmony and nearness that always prevailed in that family. Mr. Clark had been afflicted with rheumatism for a long time and for several years had not been able to walk without the assistance of crutches, yet he bore the affliction with great fortitude. One that lived to a ripe old age, a successful farmer, and will be greatly missed in his community. = kbz
