Grave of Harvey Clark

Title

Grave of Harvey Clark

Description

Photo of the gravestone of Harvey Clark, an early Oregon pioneer and missionary. A white obelisk rises from a square white block placed on a larger concrete block. The name 'Clarke' is incised on the stone block; faded but legibly carved on the obelisk is the following: 'Rev Harvey Clarke. Born in Vermont, Oct. 2, 1807. Died March 24, 1858.' The Clark/Clarke last name is spelled with or without an 'e' in various contexts. Based on a similar photograph from the same cemetery (see WCMpic_000292), this photograph may have been taken circa 1926, possibly by Albert Tozier.
