Expired this morning at her Home Near Harrisville.
Her Husband, Eugene Clark, now in County Jail, charged with striking her on the head with a hammer, must face the charge of murder.
Mrs. Eugene Clark died this morning at her home five miles from Harrisville, in the direction of Natural Bridge, and her husband is confided in the Lowville jail, charged with assault in the first degree, it being alleged that he struck Mrs. Clark on the head with a hammer at their home on Saturday, March 16th, crushing the skull. When found Mrs. Clark was unconscious, in which condition she remained a greater part of the time up to the hour of her death. The authorities have been unable to secure a statement from her, although the past ten days she asked for "Gene," and wanted to know why he did not come home. However, her condition was such that she did not know what had happened to her, although when told that her injuries were caused by a fall down stairs she branded that statement as an untruth....
Eugene Clark is about 50 years, and his wife was aged about 45 years. The prisoner has always been regarded as one of the most reliable farmers of the town of Diana. He has served as assessor and commissioner of highways of the town, and has quite frequently been drawn as a juror at terms of the county and supreme court. He has been twice married and has one daughter by his first wife and one by his second wife. The youngest daughters is about about 23 years. ...since his confinement in the Lowville jail he has exhibited no signs of insanity; Sheriff Hubbard left this morning for Harrisville without informing Clark of the death of his wife."
