Clark was as a thunderbolt from a cloudless sky, when on Thursday he was about as is his usual custom. He was uptown on an errand and had returned home to assume his duties about the yard. He answered the call to dinner and entered the house, sat down in a chair at which time the illness which proved fatal overtook him. He called to his wife, but already signs of alarm were manifested and before medical aid could reach him life had departed and the soul of Mr. Clark crossed the threshold of God's Heavenly Home. Darwin I. Clark was born in Cherry Valley, Ashtabula County, OH., 25 February 1844 and passed away at his home in Creston, Platte county, NE., 13 May 1920, at the age of 76 years, 2 mons, & 18 days. He spent the first few years of his life near Cherry Valley, Ohio and when only 9 years of age his parents emigrated to Illinois where he grew to early manhood. He was only 16 years og age at the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion, but succeeded in enlisting on 9 September 1862, to serve 3 years or the duration of the war. On the 3 day of December 1862, he was mustered into the service at Ottawa, Illinois, as a private of Henshaw's Battery Illinois Volunteer Light Artillery, under the command of Edward C. Henshaw. In the spring of 1863, he was ordered to Kentucky to assist in the defense of that state against John Morgan's troops, and during the Morgan raid, 1 July to 26, 1863, it took part in the pursuit and final capture of Morgan's forces at Buffington Island, Ohio 19 July and hid capture at New Lisbon, Ohio, 26 July 1863.

Darwin I. Clark took part in all the engagementsof this battery and rendered faithful and meritorous service to his country at all times. At the close of the war he returned to his home near Marseilles, Illinois where he was united in marriage to Frances R. Westcott, 10 September 1867. From this union were born 7 children: Correne, Guy D., Amber M., Violet I., Kittie M., Nellie R., and Herbert L.

For 3 years they lived in Shelby county, Iowa and then again moved, to their old homestead 4 miles south of Creston, NE. When the town of Creston was established almost 10 years after they reached this country, they moved to town and built and operated the hotel at this place for a number of years. They have been residents of this community for the past 40 years with the exception of a period of about 4 years which they spent in Portland, Oregon.
