The Death of Charles L. Clark
For Over 25 Years Well Known and Most Highly Regarded in Bangor Business Circles.
The death of Charles Lowell Clark, occurred Thursday morning at his home in Hampden at the age of 59 years and 11 months. He had been in failing health for some time but pluckily attended to his duties until obliged to give up work some six weeks ago.
Mr. Clark was born in Somerville, Mass., the son of Mr. and Mrs. George D. Clark and was educated at the Boston Latin school. He was for a while in business with his brother in the firm of George L. Clark & Co. commission merchants of Boston, but came to Bangor 26 years ago and entered the employment of Rice & Miller as bookkeeper. He became a member of the corporation when the concern was changed to the Rice & Miller Co., at which time he was head bookkeeper, and he continued in that capacity to the time when he was obliged to give up active work in the latter part of February.
He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Alice Sutton of Boston, and seven children, Miss Bessie, Lowell f., Frederick T., Alice, Lorna, Charles S. and Elinor.
The family home has been in Hampden for the past 12 years.
Mr. Clark was gifted with natural ability as a mathematician and analyst utilized in his business as an accountant or his recreation at chess or billiards to an expert degree. He was fond of out door sports and derived much pleasure from motor-boating.
He was a member of the Boston Chess club, of the Condeskeag Canoe club and the Madockawando club.
Mr. Clark was of rare personality. He seemed to combine all that was strong, manly, right and good, ever with tender thoughtfulness and gentle symapthy for all. His family, friends, and employers always came before his personal inclinations. His courtesy and consideration knew no classes. And so it is that his death will come as a matter of personal sorrow to very many people in all walks of life. His fight for his health against almost heart-breaking odds, was kept up to the last, with a smile, and he died as he had lived making the best of all that life brought to him.
The funeral services will be held in the Hampden Congregational church, Sunday, April 28, at 2:30 p.m.
