CLARK LOUDON was born in County Armagh, Ireland, Oct. 9, 1823, and educated at Belfast. Came to this country in 1851; was licensed in Ireland. The first ten years of his ministry in this country were spent in Philadelphia, in charge of the Fifteenth Presbyterian church in that city, over which he was ordained early in 1853. He came to Illinois about 1862, and labored until 1875 in Marrowbone township, in Moultrie county, and in the Prairie Home in parish in Shelby county. He organized, in that general field, two churches - Sullivan and Dalton - and assisted in erecting two good church buildings. He married Dec. 15, 1864, Miss Mary A. Freeland. In 1875 their children were three little girls. In 1876 he removed with his family to Minnesota, and has labored since at Shetek and Tracy.
