appointment of President Hayes, Minister to Paris. After their
marriage, the couple made their home in that beautiful and invit-
ing, but then heavily timbered region, a mile north of Pleasant
Ridge, and seven miles from Cincinnati. Here they resided until
1855, when they removed to Cincinnati. Two years after her mar-
riage, Mrs. Clark joined the Baptist Church, but on her removal to
Cincinnati connected herself with the Presbyterian Church, with
which she remained in close communion until her death.

unassuming tyjie of piety. Mr. Clark joined the Baptist Church in
1843, in which he was an elder, but with his wife joined the Piesby-

faithful and earnest Christian. He was noted for his dignity, pru-
dence and firmness. A large proportion of the attendance at his
funeral were of the " Pioneer Association." who held him in high
esteem. Both he and Mrs. Clark, were distantly related to Hon.
