CLARK, AMASA
San Antonio, Jan. 30 - Amasa Clark, 101 years old last September, and one of the most picturesque Texans of history, died at his home in Bandera near here early Friday morning.
Clark came to Texas from New York, where he was born in 1825, and first became prominent in the Lone Star State's fight for freedom in 1846. He was a member of Gen. David Twigg's expedition into Mexico in the Mexican war and took part in the battles of Molina del Ray, Chapultepec, and the street fighting a the taking of Mexico City.

Clark was the oldest living member of the Pioneer Freighter's Association and had always taken an active part in the affairs of that body. When the state could dispense with Clark's services, he settled down on a fruit farm at Bandera.
