Amos Clark, of Raccoon Island, Gallia County, has for many years been one of the most active Republicans in Ohio, giving to his party the benefits of a keen mentality, an energetic nature and an unswerving fidelity to its principles, believing them to be for the best of interests and future prosperity of the nation. In 1889 Mr. Clark was elected a member of the board of equalization of Ohio from the eighth senatorial district, over W. S. Thorniley, his Democratic opponent. The board meets every ten years to equalize the value of counties and cities of this state. Ever since 1864, when he voted for Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Clark has supported and worked for the principles of the Republican party, and today no man in the county has a wider influence than he or is more closely identified with the inside workings of that organization. He has frequently been the committeeman for his neighborhood, has served on the county committee, and as a delegate he has been in some of the most noted state conventions, among which may be mentioned the one in which William McKinley was nominated the first time for governor of Ohio. In attending the congressional and senatorial conventions Mr. Clark has always taken an active part, and in county politics he has figured as a most potent factor.
The Clarks of today are descendants of a good old New England family, the male members of which were in early times adherents of the Whig party, the father of our subject, Stephen Clark, being an old-line Whig, who lived and died in Maine, where he reared five sons, four of whom took part in the Civil war. J. M. Clark, at present in the pension department at Washington, District of Columbia, at one time lived in Gallia county, but later moved to Danville, Illinois.
He was a lieutenant of Company I, Thirty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, during the war. The three other brothers of our subject were Stephen, Henry and Augustus.
At the age of nineteen, Amos Clark came to Gallia county, and for one winter taught school, the following year engaging in boating on the river, in which vocation he continued until the outbreak of the war, when he returned home and enlisted in 1861, in the three-year service, his regiment, the Thirty-sixth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, being assigned to duty with the Army of West Virginia and the Army of the Potomac, and participated in the battles of Antietam and South Mountain, together with numerous others, till February, 1863, the regiment was transferred to Tennessee and became a part of the Army of the Cumberland, and where Mr. Clark remained until his term of service expired, when he was honorably discharged, and, as his health had become seriously impaired, he returned home. He subsequently located at Chambersburg, Gallia county, Ohio, and with his brother, J. M., engaged in the mercantile business for the next five years, when Mr. Clark once more embarked in his former business, buying and selling produce, which he boated down the river to Vicksburg, and he also built up a coal trade along the river, his southern headquarters being Vicksburg, and this vocation he carried on successfully up to within a few years, when he retired from active life, and is now residing on a large farm near Raccoon Island on the Ohio river. He has been a member of the Gallia County Soldiers' Relief Commission ever since it was organized, and he is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, the Knights of Pythias, and D. L. Martin Post, Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is one of the organizers and was its first commander.
In 1863 Mr. Clark was married to Miss Fannie Riggs, and of this union three children were born namely: James S., who is now in Montana; Mamie L., the wife of R. B. Ewing, of Gallipolis, Ohio; and Ada, who is a teacher in the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Children's Home, at Xenia, Ohio. Mr. Clark's second marriage too place in 1881, when he was united to Mrs. E. L. Harper. Our subject is in favor of a McKinley tariff, Blaine's idea of reciprocity, and sound money, is a good Republican and a loyal American, and is one of the most highly respected citizens in southern Ohio.
Left Maine by sea and traveled to New Orleans, then from there to Ohio. He clerked in brother Joshua's store until the War. All five brothers were in Civil War.

Arent Andriesz, tobacco planter; a brother of Albert Andriesz, from
Frederikstad, and like him designated as Noorman. He appears to have come
over with his brother on the Rensselaerswyck and to have stayed with him in
the colony for one year. His wages began April 2, 1637, at f7S a year.
Between 1638 and 1646, he is various times credited with tobacco furnished to van Curler and de Hooges. May 1, 1658, he obtained a lease for land opposite Beverwyck.

Burial- Grounds. For very many years the Friends for miles around buried at Crosswicks Meeting-house ground, but in 1740 Joseph Borden deeded to them the lot now known as the Quaker graveyard. As their meeting-house was built that year, it is probable the ground was soon used for the purpose designated, and that every portion of it has been occupied. Sometimes, but very rarely at an early date, tombstones erected to the memory of Friends are found in their graveyards. Preserve Brown seems to have been especially honored in this respect. He was buried in the northwest corner of the ground, and a solitary tombstone with this inscription marks the spot:
"In memory of Preserve Brown, who died the 26th day of the 4th month, 1744, aged 65 years."
This stone is of blue marble, about two feet high with the top scrolled in the usual style of the day, and is undoubtedly the first one put up in Bordentown, and probably the oldest to be found in any Friends' ground in the State. (p484, History of Burlington and Mercer Counties New Jersey)

Died, at his residence in Wayne township, on Sunday, 26th inst, after a short but painful illness, the Rev. Jacob Hisey, in the 32d year of his age.
Early in life Mr. Hisey professed religion, and attached himself to the Freewill Baptist Church, in which he was soon after ordained a minister of the gospel. He applied himself with great energy to the study of those branches most calculated to aid him in the discharge of his ministerial duties. But upon the sphere of his usefulness he had scarcely entered when death deprived the church of his services, and society of an amiable man. He was a kind father, an affectionate husband, and generous friend. Those who knew him best will regret him most.

Jane Colvin Cochran, the youngest of the thirteen children of Thomas and Hannah Colvin, was born near New Market, Highland County, Ohio, October 4, 1821 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura Stroup in Blanchester, Ohio July 10, 1918 aged 96 years, 9 months, and 6 days.
She was united in marriage to Jacob Cochran February 20, 1840 and to this union were born nine children, five sons and four daughters. Her beloved husband, three sons and two daughters have preceeded her to the Great Beyond. The living children are Alpheus Cochran and Mrs. Ella Duvall of Hillsboro, Mrs. Laura Stoup of Blanchester and William Cochran of Middletown, Ohio.
Besides her four living children, she leaves twenty-five grandchildren, forty-six great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren.
Aunt Jane Cochran, as she was familiarly known to her multitude of friends, was a woman of substantial character and sterling worth. She went about "doing good" in a very quiet, unassuming way. No sick person in her neighborhood was neglected or needy person turned from her door.
She became a member of the Universalist church early in her life. She lived her religion which was a source of great comfort to her especially in her declining years. She was a firm believer in an All-wise Creator of Love and Justice who would condemn none of the human race to a condition of eternal punishment at the close of this life.
She was a woman of remarkable health and strength both of body and mind and could relate, with the minutes accuracy, occurrences of importance that took place more than four score years ago. She retained this wonderful power of mind and memory almost to the close of her long and useful career, being confined to her bed and unable to think and speak connectedly less than a month previous to her passing away.
She was a great reader and very patriotic. She knew much of what was going on in the world and expressed a wish that she might live and have her health and understanding till the present world struggle was won for God, humanity and civilization. However, she was ready to and willing to go when her Savior called.

She resided here when, at the age of 16, in 1857, she was married to Francis Shelley, at Monroeville, Ind. She returned with her husband to live in Harrison township, Paulding county, when there were but three dwellings in the township. The Shelleys lived in Paulding county, either in or around Payne, until about eleven years ago, when they moved to near Cincinnati, O., later moving to Columbus Grove, O., and last March coming back to Payne, where they have since made their home with their daughter, Mrs. William Buerkle, where she died early Monday morning, October 4.
Although Mrs. Shelley had been a great sufferer for many years and in feeble health, yet her death came as a great surprise to her many friends, for on October 3rd she, in company with her husband and daughter, drove to Dixon, O., to visit her sister and family, and thoroughly enjoyed the day, apparently suffering but little fatigue.

Wayne, also 26 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. She was a faithful member of the U. B. church, but when living near Cincinnati, owing to the fact that there was no U. B. church there, she worshipped in the M. E. church, but on coming to Columbus Grove she again took up her worship in the church of her choice, the United Brethren.
Her funeral was held on Wednesday at 2 p. m., in the M. E. church. Her pastor, Rev. J. W. Shock, of Columbus Grove, O. officiated, and interment was made in the Lehman cemetery.
