announces the death of one of the most valued members of its staff - Charles
Dunning Clark, which resulted from typhoid fever at 11 o'clock last evening
after an illness beginning on Sunday last. One week ago to-day he was performing
his usual work at this office, and if he then felt the symptoms he did
not speak of it and left his desk for home as usual. Mr Clark was born
in this city, January 8 1843?(could be 8)
For a time he was employed on the Syracuse Herald as a reporter. It will be ten years in April next since he took a position on the local staff of the TIMES a position which he has held continuously and to the entire satisfaction of the management and all connected with it. No words of kindness spoken will exceed the deserts of the deceased. He was genial to a degree seldom equaled and he may justly be classed among the happy and comparatively few who, if they have an enemy, have not deserved one. he was not querulous and never bickered. In his ten years' employment in this office he never offered or received an unkind word from any one connected with it. He was thoroughly respected by all, and held in that affectionate regard which brothers have for one another. His work was highly satisfactory, and he performed it with remarkable readiness and dispatch. he was vigilant and tireless as a news-gatherer, and there is no work on a newspaper that he could not turn his hand to and do well. Cut down suddenly in the flower of his strength and usefulnedd, the TIMES mourns his departure with a sincerity and depth of feeling that words can but feebly and imperfectly express. Mr Clarks social and domestic relations were of the happiest character. Necessarily from the nature of his employment he had wide aquaintance, and his friendships were as wide as his aquaintanceship. It would be difficult to name another more correct in his life and more faithful in his friendships. As a son and as a husband he was all that the highest the most exacting requirements might suggest- kind, thoughtful, loving and beloved. Taken in all, the deceased was one who will be sorely missed in all his earthly connections, and he will be affectionately, pleasantly and long remembered for the qualities which spoke so eloquently for him in his every day life and associations. The immediate members of his family are his wife, his father Mr. George W. Clark of the town of Oswego, a sister, Mrs H. W. Hayward of this city, a brother, Mr William J. Clark of Syracuse, and his father-in-law, Mr H. G. Hayward also of Syracuse, who loved him as he might a dearest son. To each and all of these the public will extend profound sympathy for a loss at once so sudden and irreparable. Mr Clark was a member of the masonic fraternity, and, we believe had been attached to that organization for over twenty years. He was a member of Frontier City Lodge No. 422 of this city, Lake Ontario Chapter No. 165 and lake Ontario Commandery, K. T. At different times he held offices in each of the above organizations. The remains will be taken to Syracuse for interment by the 11:00 a.m. train. Funeral services will be held at the house at 9:30 a.m. Newsclipping no date
We find her next in Oswego, teaching school, with sixteen scholars -a large school in those days. She was married to Levi Carrier Jan. 20,
1825. Two children by this union died in infancy. Mr Carrier became proprietor
of the old "Fulton House", which stood where Chappell,Goodjon & Co.'s
store now is ( the Johnson Block)and so became the first landlady of the
town. It was at this house that the Masonic banquet was served by Mrs Carrier
at the time of the laying of the corner stone of the first lock on the
Oswego canal. July 4 1826, when Hon. David Brewster of Oswego, read the
address and Rev. Mr Irwin was chaplain (who is still living) of the occassion.
Mrs Mary Carrier married William Schenck about the 15th of December 1835 and moved into the house at Oswego Falls where she died having lived there fifty-six years and a few days. In this home were born to them eight children three of whom survive her. Her christian life commenced very early,
for the home influence was in that direction and her father's home was
the home of all "itinerant Methodist" and other ministers. It was in the
summer of 1817, that we find one Mrs. Betune, a Presbyterian lady, in his
home interesting his daughters in Sunday school work and they formed the
first Sunday school in Fulton, with Mary Falley as one of scholars. It
was the next season that great reformations in this locality commenced
and she was one of four hundred converted, then only 12 years of age. The
subject of the minister Mr. Betune, was " What Hath God Wrought". She always
tried to live a consistent christian, with little outward appearance but
deep feeling and a forgiving spirit toward all erring humanity. Her heart
yearned for the conversion of all mankind. She always tried to present
herself and family at the means of Grace and many times when the cold blasts
of winter kept most people at home she was always apresent and particularly
was it noticed that on one occasion when the minister supposed no one would
be present he found Mrs Schenck and .. (and line not legible)
