Lewis Clark, farmer and stockraiser, Spring Creek Township, lives on section 27, where he has a fine farm of 320 acres, all under cultivation.

He was but ten years of age when his parents came to Black Hawk County and here he was reared and educated, attending in his youth the pioneer schools. He was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, February 7, 1844, a son of John and Barbara Clark. His parents came to Iowa in 1854 and settled in Spring Creek Township, where the father died. The mother now makes her home with her son William. He has been successful in his agricultural pursuits and is now among the prosperous and well-to-do citizens of Spring Creek township. In politics he is a Democrat.

He has served in several official relations; among others has been road supervisor and school director, taking a special interest in educational matters. He was married April 9, 1865, to Hester A. Howell, daughter of Stephen and Mary Howell. They have three children--William, James L. and Lewis.
