George W. Clark lived in Niagra Co., New York until he was 18, at that age he
went to Canada where his father worked in a sawmill. He borrowed $5 from his
father. He went to Fort Dearborn (now Chicago) and went down the Illinois
River to the Mississippi down to St. Louis. Then he went by wagon train to
Pike's Peak, where he was a gold miner.
Possibly he is the George W. Clark who worked as a farm had in Greene County,
Illinois. A 24 yr old George W. Clark from New York worked for a Tavner Haddock
at a place between Apple Creek and Macoupin and is in the 1860 census. This is
a point by the river and due west of Shelby County, Illinois where he later
settled.
Later he enlisted in Company C of the 150th NY Infantry. He was at Gettysburg,
went in Hooker's division to Pittsburg Landing. Then in Sherman's march to the
