A. T. Andreas & Co., Chicago - 1883 [564-565] S. D. CLARK, superintendent construction Port Huron & Northwestern Railroad, is a native of Chesterfield, N.H., and was born January 28, 1820; grew up and learned his trade in that State. Came to Sarnia in 1856, and was on both sides of the river and built all the buildings on the Sarnia Branch; also had charge of building all the buildings for the Grand Trunk Railroad on both sides of the river; then returned to his native State and engaged in farming for ten years. In 1871, he went to St. Louis, and had charge of erecting the buildings of the American Plate Glass Works for Capt. WARD, and afterward was engaged in the drug business for several years; and is now superintendent of construction for the Port Huron & Northwestern Railroad Company. He held the office of Superintendent of the Board of Public Works for three years. In 1845, Mr. CLARK married Miss SARAH EMERSON, a native of Hillsboro County, N.H. They have five children -- WILLIAM E., SUSIE E., FRANK P., AMY A., LAURA M. They have lost two children - CHARLES J., died August 18, 1881; CLARA A., died September 25, 1881. There are few parents called upon to mourn the loss of children of greater promise. The death of the former was caused by a railroad accident. Miss CLARA A. CLARK was a graduate of the Port Huron High School in the class of 1876, afterward engaged in teaching until her last illness. The news of her death was received with keen regret in all parts of the city, where she was a general favorite. Among her more intimate friends, it caused inexpressible grief. Her associates in school life, the Lotus Club and the Literary Club, in both of which she was a loved and honored member, met in special gatherings to ex- press their genuine respect, love and sympathy. =========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more information about St. Clair County, Michigan by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/mi/stclair/ ===========================================================================
