      WILLIAM A. CLARK, JR., M. D.,
  
  [p. 952] one of New Wilmington's prominent physicians, residing in his
  pleasant and attractive home, which is situated on the corner of Market
  and Vine Streets, was born at Great Belt, in Butler County, Pa., April
  3, 1879. He is the only son of William A. and Martha (Jones) Clark. The
  grandparents of Dr. Clark, George and Elizabeth Clark, came as pioneers
  from York, Pa., to Lawrence County. By trade George Clark was a tailor,
  but he was mainly known as a general merchant and postmaster at New
  Wilmington. William A. Clark, father of Dr. Clark, has been successfully
  operating in the oil fields of Butler County for many years.
  
  Dr. Clark was about four years old when his parents moved to
  Philadelphia, and later to Butler, Pa., where he attended the public
  schools. His father's business required family removals and he later was
  a student in the private school of Professor Clark, of Sharpsburg, near
  Pittsburg. From there he came to New Wilmington, and for four years was
  under the instruction of Mrs. Elizabeth Edgar, a well known educator
  here, preparing to enter college. In the meanwhile, his father had
  installed an electric plant at New Wilmington and this became Dr.
  Clark's property and was under his management until he sold it, prior to
  entering the Western Reserve College, at Cleveland. In preparation for
  the medical studies he intended to pursue there, he had taken a course
  at Westminster College. After one year at the Ohio institution, Dr.
  Clark attended old Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, for a
  year and then took a special course in diseases of the stomach, at the
  Chicago University. For two years following his graduation, Dr. Clark
  practiced his profession at Volant, Pa., and then came to New
  Wilmington, a step he has never had cause to regret.
  
  On August 5, 1903, Dr. Clark was married to Mary Helen Mealy, who is a
  daughter of Dr. George N. Mealy, a well known physician of New
  Wilmington. Dr. and Mrs. Clark have one son, George Paul, who was born
  August 28, 1904. With his wife, Dr. Clark belongs to the Neshannock
  Presbyterian Church of New Wilmington. Fraternally, he is a Mason and an
  Odd Fellow.
