The sad event as announced above has been expected for some time, yet it has cast a gloom over the entire community, for the deceased has made Fulton his home for the major portion of his life, has been identified with its numerous periods of advancement, was a man worthy of that title and , though he started as a poor boy, yet he accumulated a competency and left his surviving daughters a name of which the may justly be proud. For over 60 years he was identified with the business interests of Fulton. When the civil war broke out he enlisted and went to the front as a member of Company L of "Scott's 900."

In the following fall he visited his old Canada friends, and was in the province at the time of the "patriot invasion" and war, and while there he witnessed the execution of his old employer. Chris Buckley, also Mr Woodruff of Syracuse, and Mr. Abbey of Watertown. In 1840 he returned to Fulton and carried mails on horseback from Oswego to Syracuse. Later he drove packet from Oswego to Syracuse,and in 1842 learned shoemaking. He worked in Fulton, Syracuse and New York, and afterwards became a partner with Mr. Nettleton, his former employer, in the shoe business.

Obituary

It is with profound sorrow that the Times announces the death of one of the most valued members of its staff - Charles Dunning Clark, which resulted from typhoid fever at 11 o'clock last evening after an illness beginning on Sunday last. One week ago to-day he was performing his usual work at this office, and if he then felt the symptoms he did not speak of it and left his desk for home as usual. Mr Clark was born in this city, January 8 1843?(could be 8)
and expired therefore, on his 49th birthday. He was a graduate of the Oswego High school and also of the Oswego Normal school. When he was about twenty his father, Mr. George W. Clark, removed to the town of Oswego, where the deceased also went to reside for a brief time. For a number of years he lived in Syracuse , and there in 1872, married Miss Mary Hayward. 

For a time he was employed on the Syracuse Herald as a reporter. It will be ten years in April next since he took a position on the local staff of the TIMES a position which he has held continuously and to the entire satisfaction of the management and all connected with it. No words of kindness spoken will exceed the deserts of the deceased. He was genial to a degree seldom equaled and he may justly be classed among the happy and comparatively few who, if they have an enemy, have not deserved one. he was not querulous and never bickered. In his ten years' employment in this office he never offered or received an unkind word from any one connected with it. He was thoroughly respected by all, and held in that affectionate regard which brothers have for one another.

His work was highly satisfactory, and he performed it with remarkable readiness and dispatch. he was vigilant and tireless as a news-gatherer, and there is no work on a newspaper that he could not turn his hand to and do well. Cut down suddenly in the flower of his strength and usefulnedd, the TIMES mourns his departure with a sincerity and depth of feeling that words can but feebly and imperfectly express.

Mr Clarks social and domestic relations were of the happiest character. Necessarily from the nature of his employment he had wide aquaintance, and his friendships were as wide as his aquaintanceship. It would be difficult to name another more correct in his life and more faithful in his friendships. As a son and as a husband he was all that the highest the most exacting requirements might suggest- kind, thoughtful, loving and beloved. Taken in all, the deceased was one who will be sorely missed in all his earthly connections, and he will be affectionately, pleasantly and long remembered for the qualities which spoke so eloquently for him in his every day life and associations.

The immediate members of his family are his wife, his father Mr. George W. Clark of the town of Oswego, a sister, Mrs H. W. Hayward of this city, a brother, Mr William J. Clark of Syracuse, and his father-in-law, Mr H. G. Hayward also of Syracuse, who loved him as he might a dearest son. To each and all of these the public will extend profound sympathy for a loss at once so sudden and irreparable.

Mr Clark was a member of the masonic fraternity, and, we believe had been attached to that organization for over twenty years. He was a member of Frontier City Lodge No. 422 of this city, Lake Ontario Chapter No. 165 and lake Ontario Commandery, K. T. At different times he held offices in each of the above organizations.

The remains will be taken to Syracuse for interment by the 11:00 a.m. train. Funeral services will be held at the house at 9:30 a.m.

Mary Falley, daughter of Daniel Falley was born on a small farm in Middlefield Mass., July 28 1805. Her father from there to Chester village where he was engaged in business. Mr Falley soon after moved with his wife and family of five children to Fulton, arriving here on the 12th day of June 1813, having been many days on the way. He bought a part interest in his brother-in-law's business (Samuel Holland) who had just died. They moved into a part of a house on the bank of the Oswego river, known then as Clute house situated nearly across the road from now " Mission Chapel." In this house she learned to spin flax and linen at the early age of twelve, and to weave linen, cotton and woolen, at fifteen being able to weave in a few months from 5 to 6 yards per day, which was considered a great accomplishment in those days.
They afterward moved into the house across the road on the ground where the " MIssion Chapel" now stands known then as the Hyde house. It was from this house that she was subsequently married.

We find her next in Oswego, teaching school, with sixteen scholars -a large school in those days.

She was married to Levi Carrier Jan. 20, 1825. Two children by this union died in infancy. Mr Carrier became proprietor of the old "Fulton House", which stood where Chappell,Goodjon & Co.'s store now is ( the Johnson Block)and so became the first landlady of the town. It was at this house that the Masonic banquet was served by Mrs Carrier at the time of the laying of the corner stone of the first lock on the Oswego canal. July 4 1826, when Hon. David Brewster of Oswego, read the address and Rev. Mr Irwin was chaplain (who is still living) of the occassion.
After a few years they moved into a house which stood near D.W. Gardner's present residence and from there to the house now occupied by Mr A.J.Thayer, which was built for Mr Carrier. There he died.

Mrs Mary Carrier married William Schenck about the 15th of December 1835 and moved into the house at Oswego Falls where she died having lived there fifty-six years and a few days. In this home were born to them eight children three of whom survive her.

Her christian life commenced very early, for the home influence was in that direction and her father's home was the home of all "itinerant Methodist" and other ministers. It was in the summer of 1817, that we find one Mrs. Betune, a Presbyterian lady, in his home interesting his daughters in Sunday school work and they formed the first Sunday school in Fulton, with Mary Falley as one of scholars. It was the next season that great reformations in this locality commenced and she was one of four hundred converted, then only 12 years of age. The subject of the minister Mr. Betune, was " What Hath God Wrought". She always tried to live a consistent christian, with little outward appearance but deep feeling and a forgiving spirit toward all erring humanity. Her heart yearned for the conversion of all mankind. She always tried to present herself and family at the means of Grace and many times when the cold blasts of winter kept most people at home she was always apresent and particularly was it noticed that on one occasion when the minister supposed no one would be present he found Mrs Schenck and .. (and line not legible)
present. He therefore preached as usual in the old brick church. In her declining years she was seldom able to attend religious services. The last sermon she heard was by Elder Danforth " In My Fathers House are many Mansions." She seemed particularly happy after it and the promise ..(unlegible) vouchsafed to her. Just before her death she left a token of her christian energy to the "Peck Memorial Home" in New Orleans;by work from her own hands.
Her last hours were full of hope and acknowledgement that she was ready for the great hereafter and seeing those beyond, she passed over ....(clipping not legible after this) Newspaper Clipping is hand dated 1926
