Clark The following obituary was read at the funeral services of the late Noah S. Clark at Mt. Zion Baptist Church on Monday, October 28, 1929. Saturday morning, Oct. 26th, when the sad news was passed from neighbor to neighbor that Noah Sylvester Clark had passed away, so great was the shock that it was thought by many to be a mistake. He had been ill but a short time and his recovery seemed certain to everyone. But a visit to the bereaved home verified the message. Mr. Clark was the son of the late Lewis D. and Maria (Neal) Clark. He was born in Harrison Township, Gallia County, Ohio, April 2, 1863, being at the time of his death 66 years, 6 months and 24 days of age. In early manhood he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Gothard, who with one son, Clarence Donovan, preceded him beyond several years ago. Two daughters, Mrs. Eva Small, Bladen, Ohio; Mrs. Jennie F. Dewitt, Eureka, Ohio; two sons, Lawrence Davis of Columbus, Ohio and Noah Thurman, Bladen, Ohio, together with seven grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Effie Archer, Irwin, Ohio; Mrs. Della F. Bodimer, Eureka, Ohio; two brothers, John of Eureka and Mr. Lieu D. Clark of Springfield, Ohio and his wife, Mrs. Lena Grove Clark to whom he was married April 2, 1905, are left to mourn the loss of a kind father, grandfather, brother and companion. Mr. Clark was a member of the Swan Creek M.E. Church for a number of years, a Charter member of Council No. 142 Junior Order United American Mechanics of Bladen, also a member of Council 114 Daughters of America of Gallipolis, Ohio. Noah, as he was known by his innumerable friends, relatives and neighbors, both old and young, has for the past thirty-nine years operated a freight and passenger route from Swan Creek to Gallipolis and during the past several years he has carried the United States Mail. His first mode of travel was a hack drawn by mules, after the more modern mode of travel was established he operated a motor truck, known to everyone as "Noah's Ark". The day was never too cold or stormy for him to postpone his trip or the commodity too small for him to purchase. During this period of his life on the road he missed but two days due to illness. As time went on, the public demanded a more efficient mode of travel, he immediately arose to this demand with the organization of the first passenger bus line from Huntington to Gallipolis and later to Parkersburg. In this enterprise he took great pride. His days of labor came to an end when God called him to lay all burdens aside. No more to hear his familiar whistle and say "Here comes Noah". He has gone to meet Him who giveth the Eternal Life in those who believe upon His name. Gallipolis Paper Oct. 26, 1929
