      WILLIAM R. CLARK,
  
  [p. 653] whose valuable farm of eighty-five acres is situated about one
  mile west of Westfield Church, in North Beaver Township, was born in
  Little Beaver Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, March 1, 1856,
  and is a son of William and Elizabeth (Woodworth) Clark.
  
  William R. Clark was reared in Little Beaver Township and in his boyhood
  obtained the usual common school education available to country-bred
  youths. Along with this was the practical training that developed him
  into a careful and intelligent farmer. After his marriage he lived for
  four and one-half years at Newburg, in Little Beaver Township, moving to
  his present farm, March 31, 1886. This property was formerly owned by N.
  D. White, who, at death, left it needing a large amount of improving.
  This Mr. Clark has been more or less engaged in ever since coming here.
  In 1904 he remodeled the old residence and built an addition and in 1901
  had torn down the old barn and erected the present substantial one. Mr.
  Clark has now a very attractive place and nice home, while the land,
  under his careful cultivation, produces fine crops and gives plenty of
  rich pasture for his dairy cows.
  
  Mr. Clark was married to Lucy H. White, who is a daughter of the late N.
  D. and Sarah White, and they have three children, Vallaise Evelyn,
  Bessie Doris and Raymond M. They belonged to the Bethel United
  Presbyterian Church, in which he served thirteen years as an elder, and
  is a deacon in the Westfield Church, which he and family now attend.
