Eighty acres of his farm he entered from the Government in 1855, although his date of settlement in the county was not till two years later, in March, 1857. But few settlements had been made in the township at that time, Hartley Bracewell, George Wright, George Wilkie, Nathan Wyatt and William Allen being the only residents. There was but one house, that of John Ferrel, in Benton Township, between Mr. Clark's place and Corydon, and George Wright's was the only one between his house and Clio. Of these early settlers, Mr. Clark and William Allen are the only ones now living on the land they entered, all the others having either moved away or died, although in several cases the children of the original owner occupy the land. Railroads at that time were scarce, there being not a mile of railroad in the whole State of Iowa, and their trips to market and mill were tedious and unpleasant. Mr. Clark was born in Greene County, Indiana, in 1827. His father, Henry Clark, was a native of North Carolina, where he was reared, and married Sarah Pickard, removing several years later to Indiana, where they both died. Our subject was reared in Indiana, as was also his wife, Eliza Miller, she being a daughter of Wyatt and Mary (Bland) Miller, natives respectively of South and North Carolina, and after their marriage residents of Indiana. In the fall of 1853 Mr. and Mrs. Clark, with their two children, and his elder brother, John, and family came to Iowa, and located in Keokuk County, and the same year entered land in Wapello County. John Clark was dissatisfied with the prospects of a life in a new country and the same fall returned to his home in Indiana. He died while serving his country to the war of the Rebellion. Mr. Clark removed to Wapello County in the spring of 1854, remaining there till his settlement in Wayne County. Mr. and Mrs. Clark have nine children, two born in Indiana, one in Wapello County, and the rest in Wayne County -- Cammie C. is the wife of John Baltimore, of Clay Township; Sarah E. is the wife of N. W. Densin, of Kansas; Lettie is the wife of B. F. Allen, of Wayne County; Jennie is the wife of A. B. Callen, of Wayne County; Maggie is the wife of J. L. Stine, of Missouri; Marion F. lives in Warren Township; Susie B., Carrie Belle, and Lloyd are at home. Mr. Clark's first presidential vote was cast for John C. Fremont, and since then his affiliations have been with the Republican party.
