Rev. Albion B. Clark – This devoted servant of God, says, Zion’s Advocate, was called home on the 9th inst., at the age of 39 years. He was ordained as pastor of the Baptist church in this place (then Bloomfield) in 1855, and continued to serve the church for three years and a half, when failing health necessitated his resignation. His ministry here was marked with the blessing of the Master, more than fifty being hopefully converted and uniting with the church. Mr. Clark afterwards removed to New York and engaged in the service of the American Baptist Publication Society, from which he was called to the pastorate of the Baptist church in Columbia, Cal., and went thither in 1863. But after preaching only three months he was laid aside by sickness, and remained an almost helpless invalid until his death. Last spring he was brought back to his native state and among the people of his first love. See less
