Collinsville Herald - February 3, 1928

John Carol Clark, aged 87 years, died January 27 at Webster Groves, Mo., where he had made his home for the past few years. He was well known in Collinsville, having been engaged in business here for many years. He and his family left here about thirty –five years ago for St. Louis, where they since resided. Mr. Clark enlisted in the Union Army February 18, 1862 and served until the close of the war. He was married October 9, 1867 to Miss Mary Elizabeth Dunnegan of Alton. Six children were born to this union, three of whom are living: D.F. and W.C. Clark of St. Louis, and G.A. Clark of California. Mrs. Clark preceded her husband to the grave twelve years ago. Besides his children, Mr. Clark is survived by two cousins, Mrs. Sarah Lanham and J.L. Kingsbury of this city.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from funeral parlors on Union avenue after which the remains were brought to this city and buried in the Glenwood cemetery beside his wife. The funeral was largely attended by many sympathizing relatives and friends of the family.
