Andover Townsman – October 5, 1917 – Vol. 30 – No. 51 – Page 6
Lewis Clark, one of Ballardvale's oldest and most respected citizens, died about 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon at the advanced age of eighty-seven years, five months and fourteen days. Mr. Clark was enjoying his usual good health until a few days ago when he was suddenly taken with a shock and remained unconscious until the end came Friday afternoon.
The deceased was born in Tewksbury, Mass., but for over sixty years he has been a resident of Ballardvale. He first came to the town to work in the Whipple File shop as engineer and has often told his friends that he shut down the engine the last time it was run when the Whipple File Company failed.
Mr. Clark was a great lover of nature and no one in this vicinity was better acquainted with the woods and trout brooks than was the deceased. Mr. Clark was a man of sterling integrity and it could be truly said of him that his word was as good as his bond. He was a great home man and his cheerful, patient disposition, made him beloved wherever he went.
He leaves two daughters, Mrs. N. E. Mears and Mrs. Nellie Hinchcliffe, and one sister. Miss Letitia Clark of Wilmington. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late home and was conducted by Rev. A. II. Fuller. Interment was in the family lot in Spring Grove cemetery.
