| Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ) Friday, July 3, 1925, p. 6 Mrs. Ida C. Clark, Pioneer Of Arizona, Dies Suddenly In Sanitarium At Coast City Mrs. Ida C. Clark, wife of Judge Elias S. Clark of Phoenix, died Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the Glendale Sanitarium at Glendale, Calif., following an illness of several months. Mrs. Clark left for Glendale to spend the summer, two weeks ago yesterday, and recent letters from her to her husband and family here stated that she was steadily improving, and announcement of her death received yesterday morning at 10 o'clock came as a shock to the members of her family and to friends. The delay in the transmittal of the message was due apparently to wire trouble. Mrs. Clark suffered a stroke of apoplexy in February, 1924. She recovered and her condition has gradually improved until two weeks ago, when she left for the coast in the hope that the change of climate would benefit her. Judge Clark and Neil C. Clark, a son, left last night for Glendale and will accompany the body to Prescott, where the funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon in the Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Clark was a member. Archdeacon J. R. Jenkins of the Arizona diocese will be asked to officiate at the services, this being the wish of Mrs. Clark. The burial will be in the Mountain View cemetery in Prescott in the family mausoleum. Mrs. Clark was born in Champaign, Ill., and was 64 years old. She had been a resident of Arizona for 36 years, the larger portion of which was spent in Prescott, where the family lived prior to moving to Phoenix about four years ago. She was married to Judge Clark in 1886 in Leavenworth, Kans. Prior to the marriage she was Miss Ida Coffin. Mrs. Clark is survived by her husband and three sons, Neil C. Clark and Homer Clark, both of Phoenix, and Gordon Clark, justice of the peace in Prescott; one granddaughter, Betsy Clark, nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Neil C. Clark; three brothers, George H. Coffin and W. L. Coffin, both of Phoenix, and Ben L. Coffin of Leavenworth, Kans., and four sisters, Mrs. J. S Stark of Phoenix, Mrs. R. H. Marine of Flagstaff, Mrs. G. P. Sampson of Winslow, and Mrs. P. G. Cornish of Albuquerque, N.M., also survive. Homer Clark will leave for Prescott today to await the arrival of the body of his mother from California on Saturday night. See Also: Find A Grave |
