Walter Samuel Clark died at the home of his son, Arthur Clark, at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon, Feb. 13, following an illness of three weeks. Mr. Clark was 74 years old, having been born in Brookfield, O., July 9, 1856. He was married March 19, 1876, to Miss Kate Draper McMullin, and they resided in Brookfield until 1912 when they came to New York state. Mr. Clark bought the Jim Phelps farm near Sidney but at the time of the World war he sold it and purchased a farm in Bainbridge which in turn he sold about three years ago, since when Mr. and Mrs. Clark have lived with their children. He is survived by his wife, one son, Arthur Clark of Bainbridge, three daughters, Mrs. W.E. Wheeler of Brookfield, O., Mrs. Elsie Struble of Binghamton and Mrs. McKelvey of Binghamton. Ten grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren also survive him. The funeral service was held from the home of his son, Arthur Clark on Pruyn hill [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Monday afternoon, Feb. 16, the officiating clergyman being Rev. Cecil Plumb of Guilford Center, assisted by Rev. Orvis of the Bainbridge Presbyterian church. Interment was in Prospect Hill cemetery, Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]. [Unadilla Times, Feb. 24, 1931]
