CLARK, farmer, Union Township, post office New York, was born in Scott County, Indiana, July 25, 1824, a son of David Clark, a native of Delaware, who died in 1827. The family are descendants of ex-Governor Clark, of Virginia, and its founder in America was one of Captain John Smith's Virginia colony. David Clark married Elizabeth Managh. David Clark was reared in his native county with limited opportunities for an education. During his young manhood he worked at farm labor, rail splitting and in contract work of various kinds, making, in 1845, 10,000 rails on contract. In 1841 he made his first visit to Iowa, and repeated it in 1847. In August, 1849, he brought his family and settled permanently in Wapello County, paid $360 for eighty acres, on which was a rude log house 12 x 14 feet. It had a clapboard roof and door, and puncheon floor, and for some time was windowless. There was not a nail or bit of iron used in its construction. They spent the first winter in this cheerless abode, and then built a hewed log house. Mr. Clark kept steadily at work bettering his worldly condition, and improving his farm and livestock. In 1863 he sold his fine farm of 260 acres and moved to Wayne County, buying the farm of M. Cross, an early settler and wealthy farmer of Union Township. Beginning here with 400 acres he has steadily increased his possessions till he now owns about 800 acres, besides what he has deeded to his children. He and his sons are among the largest live-stock dealers of the county. He was the first to start a herd of short-horn cattle in this county, and owns the largest herd in the county, feeding annually from fifty to 200 head. He was one or the early apple-growers of Iowa, and has two orchards, consisting of about 3,000 trees, from which he has sold apples every year for fifteen years. He has been a prominent politician; was a Whig and original Abolitionist, and throughout the war a Republican, supporting war measures, recruiting for the service, etc. Since 1867 he has been a Greenbacker, and has occupied a leading place in the party. He has held the most of the township offices, and was twice elected county commissioner, once defeating the regular Republican nominee. In 1878 he defeated Lewis Miles, the Republican candidate, on a straight Greenback ticket, and represented Wayne and Monroe counties in the State Senate. The following year he was nominated by the Greenback State Convention for Governor of Iowa, and received 38,000 votes. He had personally canvassed sixty-three counties.
