WILLIAMS, Clark

Obituary, Greeley Tribune, Feb 13, 1902, page 8. Wednesday of last week a telegram was received in Greeley from Lamar, announcing the death of Clark Williams and that his body would be forwarded to Coroner Macy to prepare for burial at Kersey, where deceased had lived for many years. Clark was born in Ohio in 1832. The Pikes Peak gold fever of 1859 caught him and the following year he came to Colorado, locating at Central City, where he engaged at mining. But all miners are not successful and Mr. Williams took to freighting from Denver to Central City, Denver to Larimie, Wyoming and other points, int he sister territories. About 1872 he came to Greeley and located on a ranch between Greeley and what is now known as Kersey, where he resided for years. He kept at farming in various parts of the country until after the death of his wife at Black Hollow in 1897, then he turned the management over to his sons. Several weeks ago he went on a visit to his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. & Mrs. Scarlett of Lamar and Wednesday he died of heart disease from which he had suffered for three years. The body was forwarded to this city and Undertaker Macy prepared it for burial, and Saturday afternoon the funeral was held from the home of Mr. & Mrs. H.P. Hill at Kersey, the body being consigned to a grave along side of his wife at Linn Grove cemetery. Deceased leaves many children and grandchildren to mourn him, his daughters Mrs. Hill of Kersey, Mrs. Scarlett of Lamar, Mrs. A.H. Raymong of Kersey, and sons C.E. Williams of Lamar, Charles Williams of Denver and Claude Williams, a State Normal student.
