Daily Baptist Encyclopedia Clark, George Whitfield, D.D., was born at South Orange, N. J., Feb. 15, 1831. He was con- verted and baptized when twelve years old into the fellowship of the Northfield Baptist church. He graduated at Amherst College in 1853, and com- pleted his theological course at Rochester in 1855. He was ordained pastor of the church at New Market, Oct. 3, 1855. In June, 1859, he became pastor of the First Baptist church in Elizabeth, and continued there until 1868, when he went to the church at Ballston, N. Y., from which he removed to Somerville, N. J., Sept. 1, 1873. In 1872 Rochester University conferred upon him the de- gree of D.D. Dr. Clark has been a close and thorough student. His notes on the gospels and “New Harmony of the Gospels’ are thorough, sound, and popular. They have been extensively used. Close and continuous study brought on a failure in health that induced a resignation of his prosperous pastorate in Somerville in 1877. He is so far restored that further work on the New Testament is contemplated. He has contributed a number of articles to the quarterlies.
