Dr. Frank Helm Clarke, one of Kentucky's foremost physicians, has rendered valuable service to his state and also to the city of Lexington, in which he has practiced for more than forty years. A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, he was born December 27, 1853, and his parents, William Henry and Sarah H. (Whitlock) Clarke, were Virginians. His father was born in Richmond and for many years engaged in merchandising in the Crescent city. Later he moved to Kentucky, becoming connected with the wholesale grocery trade of Paducah, and there passed away in February, 1863. He was an adherent of the whig party and his life was guided by the teachings of the Presbyterian church. His wife was born in Louisa county and passed away in 1901, when seventy-six years of age. She was the mother of four sons and two daughters, and five of the children survive.^[1]
