BIOGRAPHY

DR. N.G. CLARK - OF BATAVIA, NY

Dr. N. G. Clark, father of Arthur E. Clark, was a well-known physician, whose counsels were of great service to the Democratic Party. The son, Arthur E. Clark, was born at Clarkson, Monroe County, N. Y., in 1854. When the father moved to Batavia the son was six years old, and the place has been his home ever since. He was a student in the public schools, and having fitted for college he entered Yale. There he graduated in 1875. He took a course of legal study with W. C. Watson, of Batavia, and gained admission to the bar in 1878. He associated with Mr. Watson, which connection lasted until three years ago, when he started out alone on the opposite side of Main Street. Mr. Clark is not a young lawyer in a legal sense. He has been engaged for some time in important railroad business, and managed the right of way work for the D., L. & W. and the Buffalo and Geneva roads through Genesee and adjoining counties. His business is largely railroad and land business, and his opinion in these matters has unusual weight. Mr. Clark resides with his mother at the old homestead in Batavia, and is one of the most prominent members of the Batavia Club.
