ISAAC
CLARK, was born in Frankfort, Maine,
Jan. 12, 1870, and upon completion of his education learned
the stone-cutter's trade, which he conducted nine years in
his home town, removing thence to Augusta, where he worked
two years at his trade. He then served three years as
an apprentice to Malcolm & Dyer, plumbers, after
which for five years he filled the position of custodian of
the Augusta city hall. In 1905 he immigrated to
California, and choosing Visalia as his permanent location,
accepted a position as sheet metal worker for the Cross
Hardware Co. Upon the erection of the factory of the
Pacific Sugar Co., Mr. Clark was engaged by said
company to do the sheet metal work, accomplishing the work
most satisfactorily. In 1907 he joined Frank A. Newman
and C. B. Porter in establishing a general plumbing
business. Two years later Mr. Porter withdrew
from the firm, leaving Mr. Clark and Mr. Newman
sole proprietors.
In 1897 Mr. Clark was united in marriage with
Miss Mary A. Beck, also a native of Maine. They
have two charming children, Marjorie F. and Addison W.
Mr. Clark is a valued member of the Knights of Pythias,
Calantha Lodge, No. 52, and the Bethlehem Lodge, A. F. & A.
M., No. 135, both of which he joined in Augusta, Maine.
