CLASS OF 1884

Dr. Levi Clark died at Pittsfield, N. H., April 16, 1918, from complications resulting from paralysis.

He was born in Barastead, N. H., November 2, 1853, the son of John Daniels and Elizabeth (Adams) Clark. He had the usual district school education in his boyhood, which was supplemented later by further study made through great effort and selfsacrifice. He was a successful teacher for a brief period, and then studied medicine with Dr. John Wheeler '50 of Pittsfield.

After a brief post-graduate and hospital period, Dr. Clark began practice in Loudon, N. H., whence he removed to Pittsfield in the latter part of 1886. Here he practiced with growing success until the fall of 1902, when he removed to Hanover upon the entrance of his son, E. Everett Clark '06, to Dartmouth. The beginning at this time of serious illness necessitated the curtailment and soon the entire surrender of professional practice. In May, 1905, he returned to Pittsfield, and was a confirmed invalid until his death. He was widely known for successful work .in his profession, and at one time as an owner and breeder of thoroughbred horses and hunting dogs. He was never an office holder, but was always interested in anything relating to general public welfare.

April 15, 1886, Dr. Clark was married to Ella, daughter of Jefferson and Vienna (Cilley) Emerson, who died October IS, 1917. Their only child, mentioned above, is now director of Americanization at Ansonia, Conn.
