Clarke, aged 82, pioneer settler in Plymouth County, died at his home in Stanton Township, Saturday evening, following an illness of one week. Mr. Clarke had suffered of late of asthma and heart trouble, but was in fairly good health and was actively engaged until his last sickness. Mr. Clarke was widely known as a bee raiser and horticulturist and had a reputation as an authority on bee culture and honey. He devoted many years of his life to this pursuit, in addition to general farming. Mr. Clarke was born at Ledbury, Herefordshire, England, June 10, 1851, and after leaving school was engaged in the grocery business and became a traveling salesman. When a youth of 26 he decided to come to America, with his young wife, before her marriage Miss Martha Cook. They came directly to Le Mars, which at that time, Mr. Clarke used to relate, was a small village composed of wooden structures, with a hotel and depot stretching across what is now Central Avenue. After his arrival here, Mr. Clarke farmed near O'Leary and later bought land in Stanton Township, where he established a well equipped apiary and became recognized as an authority on bees. He contributed extensive articles to magazines on the subject, and queen bees from his hives were in demand from all parts of the United States and Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were the parents of ten children. His wife and four children preceded him in death. He is survived by six children: Mrs. Florence Carley of Sioux City, Iowa, Charles Clarke, Mrs. Mabel Clarke Simons of Santa Ana, CA, Henry Clarke of Cherokee, Iowa, Adam Ross Clarke of Truman, MN and Mrs. Clarence Mayer of Dow City, Iowa. There are nineteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren. His first wife died seven years ago. Subsequently he was married with Lucy Meyer of Missouri, who survives him. Mr. Clarke was a member of the Episcopal Church, and in earlier years joined the order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Clarke was widely known in the county and northwestern Iowa. He was a good citizen and neighbor and enjoyed the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Funeral arrangements were not completed last evening pending the arrival of his son and daughter from California.
