Asst Surg. 59 Mass.
From the Derry Enterprise 24 Dec. 1907
Dr. Clark received his medical education at Castleton Medical college, now a part of the University of Vermont, and in the lecture rooms and hospitals of New York city. He began his practice more than fifty years ago in New Gloucester, Maine and since then has practiced in LaCrosse and Plattville, Wisconsin and in Danville, Hampstead and Derry, New Hampshire. He came to Derry in 1861 and had been in active practice ever since.
During the latter part of the Civil War, Dr. Clark was assistant surgeon in the 59th Massachusetts regiment. He was a Free Mason and a member of Upton post G.A.R. Untiring in his efforts and unselfish in his life, Dr. Clark went in and out among the homes of the people, quietly and unostentatiously, bringing courage and comfort with him.
He was modest to an unusual degree as to his own professional attainments but his knowledge and skill were recognized as of the highest order by his fellow practitioners all over the state. His home ties were particularly strong, and his loyalty to his patients was only exceeded by his devotion to his family.
Dr. Clark is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Latham Clark; two daughters, Mrs. Edward Pettee and Miss Sylvia Clark of Derry; and one son, Herbert Clark, a civil engineer in Hartford, Connecticutt.
A simple service, in keeping with his modest and unassuming life, was held at the Central Congregational church with Gov. C. M. Floyd in attendance along with the officers and members of the Grand Army. The bearers were, Benjamin Chase, James Huntee, Walter D. Reed and W.D. Kincaid.
His name can be found on the Derry Civil War Monument.
