She was married Feb. 20, 1829 and came to Wisconsin together with her family in October 1855, settling near Cascade where she has lived since. She was the mother of twelve children, six of whom are still living: C. L. Clark and Mrs. D. P. Heath, Tomahawk; C. A. Clark, Spring Valley; Mrs. G. L. Heath, New Lisbon; Mrs. Frank Ford and G. W. Clark, Cascade.

Grandma Clark has thirty-four grand children, thirty-three great grand children, and one great great grand child, representing five generations.

Mrs. Clark's grandfather, Mr. Worth, served in an artillery regiment during the revolution, his home at the time being in Vermont.

Mrs. Clark is enjoying fairly good health and today will again receive calls from hosts of friends who desire to extend congratulations.
