Aged Remington Woman Buried Last Sunday.

Mrs. Mary E. Clark, widow of George B. Clark, a former well known business man and postmaster of Remington, died at her home in that place last Friday after an extended illness, and was buried there Sunday. Mrs. Clark is said to have been the oldest continuous resident of Remington, she and her husband having come there in 1860. Her husband was engaged in the grocery business in Remington during the CO's, and in November, 1870, was appointed postmaster, continuing as postmaster until 1886. Her death leaves Samuel Bowman as the oldest continuous resident of the town, it is said, he having resided there for 45 years.
