He is the son of William and Rachel (Ward) Clark, and was born in Petersham, 
Massachusetts, August 10, 1816. Mr. Clark first came to California in 1846, but 
went back the next year. In 1853 he returned to this state and located on his 
present ranch in Lassen county. He was one of the party who in 1847 went to the 
relief of the Donner party. Mr. Clark is one of the pioneers of Lassen county, 
and by his perseverance, industry, and integrity, has not only gained the 
respect of his neighbors, but a goodly allowance of this world�s good. A view of 
his beautiful residence may be seen on another page.
