Clark, the first white native citizen of Red River County died at his home in Carizzo Springs, Texas, Wednesday afternoon. He had been living in that place for a number of years, but was well known throughout this part of the state. Back in the Civil War days Dr. Clark was one of the prominent physicians of the country. He established quite a reputation for himself during the smallpox epidemic of that time treating successfully scores of cases. He was about 90 years of age at the time of his death., RED RIVER RECOLLECTIONS page 134, child of James and Isabella Hopkins Hanks Clark, JOLLY FUNERAL HOME Book 1 page 206: died on 31 Aug 1921, OBIT: CLARKSVILLE TIMES, Friday 19 Oct 1923, from microfilm in the Clarksville Library, Reel 2002-1: RESOLUTION -- Of the John C. Burks Camp, United Confederate Veterans of Clarksville, Texas, concerning the death of Pat B. Clark. Whereas, Dr. Pat B. Clark, a native of Red River County, Texas, and a member of this camp, lately passed to the other side, again calling our attention to the fact it is only a matter of a few days before the last surviving member of this camp shall have responded also to that call. Dr. Pat B. Clark was born at Clarksville while Texas was a republic. Gifted by nature and abilities far above the average of men and with those facilities cultivated to highest degree by a thorough education, he was indeed a man among men. He was noted for genuine hospitality; and while possessing remarkable talents he was ever approachable by the humblest citizen and the wealth of his mind and heart were for the good of his neighbors almost without money and without price. Dr. Pat B. Clark lived under three flags and was faithful and true to each of the countries those flags represented. He was first taught allegiance to the flag of his native Texas; he responded to the call of his native South and remained true and faithful to its flag until it was furled for the last time; again as a citizen of the greatest nation upon the earth, he was just as true and faithful. We sometimes use the expression, the 'Lost Cause.' But indeed and in truth, our cause was never lost, because out of the fires which raged in this country from 1861 to 1865, was emerged a nation that is now ruling the world in the wealth of her ideas of democracy and in the wealth, and all over tangible things of life, so that all the other nations of the earth are looking to us as the model upon which to renew and rebuild their governments for the service of man.
