WESLEY CLARK was born December 28th, 1872, at Plattville, Grant county, Wisconsin, of English ancestry. His father, Samuel P. Clark, was born in the state of Vermont, and his mother Lizzie O. (Hunting- ton) Clark was born at Liverpool, England. The family moved to Dakota Territory, in July, 1882, and located in township 118, range 66, in Faulk county There were only four other families in the county at that time, their nearest neighbor being three miles distant. Mr. Clark, Sr., stood among the most active and influential of Faulk county pioneers. A post office was promptly estab- lished and he became the first postmaster. A legal township organization was effected. Both the postoffice and town ship were named after the subject of this sketch, (Wesley). In 1890 both Mr. and Mrs. Clark, Sr. on account of ill health, went to California where they made their permanent home and where Mrs. Clark died in 1906, and the follow- ing year Mr. Clark, while east on a visit, died at Glenwood, Wisconsin . They were both buried at San Jose, California. The subject of this sketch, then in his eighteenth year, was left in this county to look after their property in- terests, and enjoy the school advantages that had been built up in the new town of Wesley and subsequently finished his education at the college, at Redfield, where he has since made his home. In 1887 he was admitted to the bar as a practicing at- tory; in 1900 he was elected states attorney of Spink county and served four years; in 1906, Mr. Clark was elec- ted attorney general of South Dakota and in 1908 he was reelected to that office.
