George Clark ³

   Cause of his death was Typhoid fever.⁴

  Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Longmont, Bolder County, Colorado, United States. ² George at set about finding work as a farm hand, at which he continued two years, and then rented a farm two miles north of Longmont. In 1876 he purchased eighty acres from the north part of this farm which he at once began to improve. He enlarged the ditch that his land might have better irrigation, and began in the cattle business. He also dealt in horses. He then purchased one hundred and sixty acres east of his first purchase, and later another forty adjoining, and on this makes his home. He now owns two hundred and eighty acres of land in one body, within a quarter of a mile of the corporation of Longmont, in a high state of cultivation. He also owns one hundred and sixty acres west of Longmont and city property in addition. His is one of the best improved farms in this part of the state, having a fine residence, large, roomy and convenient barns, a windmill to pump and carry water, and all the improved machinery that is needed to aid in the work. He is quick to adopt modern methods when he sees they will be a benefit to him, and one idea recently taken advantage of by him is the potato planter and digger, a great labor saving machine. He is engaged in general farming and stock-raising. At one time he had a cattle range in Little Elk Park, then on the Platte. His farm is stocked with some fine horses, among them being Percheron and draft horses. He was for many years a member of the firm of Clarke & Delfor, stock dealers and butchers of Longmont, but afterwards sold his interest. He is closely identified with the public interests of the city, being a stockholder in the Farmers' Milling and Elevator Company, the Longmont Creamery Company and the Farmers' National Bank.

• Emigration: Colorado, 1870-1873, Oswestry, Shropshire, England. ^{1 2} From 1868 to 1870 George secured employment in Oswestry, and at the end of that time set sail for America, coming by way of Liverpool, on the steamer, 'City of Pathia'. George landed in New York, and at once went to Connecticut, where he worked on a farm near Menden for two years, and then continued his way west as far as Iowa. He stopped near Iowa City until the following year (1873), when he came to Colorado.

George married Margaret Thurrott, daughter of John Thurrott and Mary Morton, in 1871 in Connecticut, United States.^{1 2} (Margaret Thurrott was born on 26 Apr 1846 in West Branch, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada ^{3 5} and died in 1939 in Longmont, Bolder County, Colorado, United States ⁴.)
