Parents
Biography
- Birth: 1 December 1848; Meelick, Queen's County, Ireland
- Christening: 14 January 1849; St Peter's Church of Ireland, Maryborough, Queen's County
- Death: 30 June 1929; Delhi, Ontario
- Burial: 2 July 1929; Delhi Cemetery
- Note: "With the passing of the Rev. Thos. R. Clark [sic], the United Church has lost one of its faithful and valued pioneer ministers.
"The call came to Mr. Clark while in his garden at his home in Delhi on June 30th, 1929. He had just called on his ministerial brethren of the village as if he were saying Good-bye.
"Mr. Clark was born in Queen's County, Ireland, Dec. 1st, 1848. He came with his parents to Fergus, Ontario, when a lad of five years of age, and settled with them on a farm.
"In October of the year 1879, while stationed at Brigden, Mr. Clark was united in marriage to Miss Anna Shields of Holstein, who proved a true and loving helpmate, aiding him greatly in his ministry by the use of her cultured voice, which was dedicated to the Master's service.
"Mr. Clark served on the following circuits:--Mount Forest, Holstein, Lucknow, Brigden, Oil Springs, Plattsville, Eastwood, Otterville and Bookton, Delhi, Trafalgar, Oakland, Oxford Centre, Drumbo, Kelvin, Rockwood, Courtland and Walsh.
"During Mr. Clark's forty-four years in the active work of the ministry, he became greatly endeared to a host of friends and workers of the Church. He could rightly be termed "A Peacemaker," for he always worked for unity and peace, overlooking so many things that would have overpowered a weaker man.
"Mr. Clark was beloved by many probationers who assisted him on various fields, some of whom testified at the funeral services, of the help and inspiration he had been to them when starting out in their ministerial cvareers.
"From his boyhood days until his sudden departure, Mr. Clark was a staunch, tireless temperance worker, ever giving of his best in the fight against the liquor traffic.
"The many tributes paid Mr. Clark at the impressive service held in the United Church July 2nd, 1929, testified to the memory of a beautiful life spent in loving service, which will always be an inspiration to those who have been associated with him." (Bio. file at United Church Archives, from Hamilton Conference Minutes, 1930)
Thomas left no will, but the petition submitted by his widow named the following as his next of kin: Annie Matilda Sarah Clarke, Delhi; James R. Clarke, Toronto; Jeremiah M. Clarke, RR #3, Fergus; William C. Clarke, Toronto; Herbert W. Clarke, Fergus; Mrs. Susan Small, Sutherland, Sask.; James Cull, address unknown. There were no children.
