The following item is compliments of member John Stoutimore:
The Caledonian, St. Johnsbury, Vt. 8-8-1837:
DEATHS. In this town, suddenly, July 26, Deacon JOHN CLARK, aged 61. He left home in a chaise in company with the pastor of the Baptist Church to which he belonged; when they had proceeded about a quarter of a mile, as they were descending a hill, the horse took fright and threw them both out. Deacon Clark received a blow on the head, which entirely deprived him of sense, and nearly of motion. In about 18 hours he expired. Few men for a long series of years have been so uniformly devoted to the cause of religion, at home and abroad, as Deacon C.; and perhaps no man in Vermont has effected more for the benefit of the communion to which he belonged.--Com.
