Biography
Job was born in 1765. Job Clark ... He passed away in 1860.[1] [2] [3] [4]
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 17, No 13, p 51, Sep. 27, 1860.
In Hopkinton, R. I., Sept. 17th, 1860, Job. B. Clarke, Esq., aged 95 years. The deceased was the youngest son of Eld. Joshua Clarke, deceased, pastor of the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church in Hopkinton seventy-five years ago. He had filled posts of honor and trust in the service of his country. Although he was, for most of his life, a believer in (as he termed it) "the sufficiency of natural religion," and was a man of sterling integrity in all his intercourse and dealings with men; yet, he lived to see that this was not competent as the ground of the sinner's hope of salvation. After he was ninety years old, he fully renounced it as his hope of future blessedness, and by faith took hold on Christ as the only name given under heaven or among men whereby we can be saved. On the 2d of May, 1858, he witnessed a good profession in the ordinance of gospel baptism, and united with the 1st Seventh-day Baptist Church in Hopkinton, of which he remained a member until death. His numerous relatives and friends are comforted with the hope that he rests with the good, in the land where the weary are at peace.
