Clark William ( - 24 Mar 1899)


On Monday of this week J. W. Tolford received a letter from G. H. Clark of Rhinelander, stating that his brother Will had died in Alaska and the remains would arrive in Neillsville Monday. The news was a sorrowful surprise to all of his friends here. G. H. Clark arrived Monday afternoon and the mother, who was at Menomonee, Mich., came on the noon train Tuesday. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian Church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. R.J. Creswell officiating.

William Clark was born in the Town of Pine Valley, Clark County, and lived on the farm south of the city till about three years ago, when he went to British Columbia as overseer in a mine, where he remained till about a year and a half ago he then went to Seattle, Wash., and went into coal mining near there. About March 1st, he started for Alaska. He landed at Skaguay and went up with his outfit beyond the railroad, where he was taken sick with pneumonia. Al that kind friends and physicians could accomplish was done for him, but he died on the 24th of March.

He was about twenty-eight years of age, and unmarried. He had many friends in this vicinity who mourn his early death.
