(From the biography of W. A. CLARK, M. D.)
James Harrison Clark's father was also born in TN & devoted his life to the work of the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. J. H. CLARK, whose birth likewise occurred in Hardin Co., TN, & who obtained his early education in subscription schools there, while later he continued his studies in the State Normal School at Carbondale, IL, gaining a liberal education for that time. He afterward taught in the rural schools & later was principal of a high school at Henderson, TN, for 3 years. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted under Col. Williams & served throughout the period of hostilities, being wounded at the battle of Shiloh by a gunshot which terminated his military career. He then returned to his home & resumed the profession of teaching. In 1881 he removed to Franklin Co., AR, & taught in the rural districts near Ozark & Lonelm. In Dec., 1888, he removed to Bald Knob & taught in dist. No. 63 during 1889 & 1890. Subsequently he engaged in the hotel business in Bald Knob for several years, after which he returned to his former home in TN, but died in White Co., AR, when on a visit here in 1916, at the age of 75 years.
In young manhood he married Harriet ALEXANDER, who was also born in Hardin Co., TN, & was a daughter of John ALEXANDER, whose birth occurred in SC, whence he removed to Hardin Co., TN, where he owned & conducted a large plantation. He was also the owner of 55 slaves at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War & he had extensively & splendidly developed plantation but lost everything during that period of strife. He died in 1877, at the age of 78 years. His daughter, Mrs. CLARK, survived her father only until Jan., 1879, and was but 32 years of age at the time of her demise. By her marriage she had become the mother of 6 children: Jennie, who is the widow of S. H. ROSSEAU and resides in St. Louis; W. A., of this review; R. C., the proprietor of a drug store at Bald Knob; Mollie, the wife of A. L. STOKES of Malden, Missouri; J. F., of Gallup, New Mexico; and Hattie, the wife of W. H. WORSLEY of Paragould, AR, where he is cashier in the Green Co. Bank.
After losing his first wife J. H. CLARK was married to Mary E. (ALEXANDER) PICKENS & they had 2 children: Anna, the wife of a Mr. WEBER of St. Louis; and Edna, the wife of S. H. VANDINE of St. Louis. For his third wife Mr. CLARK chose Miss Mary BEARD. He was a lifelong member & supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church & he also belonged to the Masonic fraternity, while his political allegiance was given to the democratic party.
Saltillo, in Hardin County, TN and Jackson, in Madison County, TN are a little over 100 miles apart.
Sardis, in Henderson County, TN is near Saltillo.
Mulberry, AR was a pioneer town of Franklin County; it is now in Crawford County, just over the border.
