Obituary

Dr. J. B. Clark left Tuesday for Charlottesville, Va., for the remains of his brother, Mr. B. Hamilton Clark, who died from pneumonia at that place Tuesday night.. Mr. John Willcox accompanied the doctor on his sad mission. This is an extremely sad death and its news will be received sorrowfully by a large number of relatives and friends in Dodge and adjoining counties. Mr. Clark graduated with distinction two years ago from Emory College and at the time of his death was a law student in the University of Virginia . He would have graduated from a three years law course this spring. He w as a young man of exceptional moral and mental qualities and but for his untimel y end would have made a useful and noble man. The remains will reach the city today. The interment will be at W oodlawn. The sad death of Mr. B. Hamilton Clark on Tuesday evening, the 12t h inst., at Charlottesville, VA., where he was a law student in the University of Virginia, was announced in the last issue of the Times-Journal. His brother, Dr. John B. Clark, of this city, reached his bedside on Monday morning, the 11th inst. and lovingly administered to him during the last hours of his illness. Mr. Clark had been sick about 22 days, but his condition was not considered critical until Saturday before his death, when Dr. Clark was telegraphed for. The primary cause of his death was pleurisy with effusion, the direct cause being heart failure. The remains arrived in Eastman on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Clark and Mr. John Willcox, the latter gentleman having met them in Atlanta. A large concourse of friends and relatives met the body at the depot and accompanied it to Woodlawn Cemetery where the interment took place. Rev. J. T. Ryder, of the Methodist church, conducted the burial service. Mr. Clark was one of Dodge County's noblest young men. He had before him every prospect of a bright and promising future, and his death right at the time when his business career was about to begin was a peculiarly sad one. He had been given every opportunity that a loving father could bestow and not one of oppurtunities was wasted. His family expected great things of him and he excelled their eexpections. He attended the South Georgia College at McRae two years, after which he went to Emory College at Oxford. He graduated from this institution with the degree of A.B. in 1899. He entered the law class of the University of Virginia and had he lived would have graduated there this summer. Possessed of a bright mind, studious disposition and sterling character, he was a universal favorite among his family connections and friends. His life was governed by the very highest code of religious and moral law, and an unworthy act was beneath his consideration. He enjoyed an acquaintance and friendship unequaled by few young men of his age and the many letters of condolence received by his family from classmates and friends attest in what high esteem he was held away from his home. He was indeed a manly man. The deceased was a son of Mr. Harlow Clark, of Clark's District, and was 24 uears of age. We extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy.
