Centennial History

Mason County

DANIEL CLARK
Page 168
Mr. Clark was born in Warren county, in 1818; removed to Indiana in 1827, where he remained seven years, and removed to what is now Mason county, in October, 1834. At that time there were less than twenty families in Mason county, and but two houses in
Havana.
(The reader will please see article on Salt Creek Township.)
In 1848 Mr. Clark married Miss Abigail Chase. His principal occupation has been farming. When he located on Salt Creek the country was nearly all in a state of nature, not one thousand acres had yet been entered in Mason county. Mr. Clark has been one
of the substantial men of the county, and served a full share in the school and township offices, commissioner of highways, etc.
Though not rich he is possessed of a competency, and feeling that he had done his share to make the world better since his residence in it, he has retired from active labor, and since 1874 his home has been in Mason City.
Twenty years ago the writer lost his way on the Salt Creek bottoms, overtaken by a very dark night. About twelve o'clock we found the home of Mr. Clark, and were glad to receive his kind hospitalities for ourself and team. His kindness to us has since
then been a pleasant recollection.
