CLASS OF 1906

Allan Chester Clark died September 23 at the Margaret Pillsbury Hospital, Concord, N. H.. of pneumonia, following the influenza.

The son of Maltheno C. and Sarah L. (Bartlett) Clark, he was born at Center Harbor, N. H., July 4, 1877. He graduated at the New Hampton Literary Institution in 1901.

He left college after two years, and was for a number of years engaged in newspaper work, also studying law. In 1913 he was admitted to the bar. He was chosen a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1902 while in College, being its youngest member. From 1905 to 1909 he was a member of the Democratic State Central Committee. In 1912 he was chosen secretary of the Constitutional Convention of that year. In August, 1913, Governor Felker appointed him justice of the Concord District Court. After the district courts were abolished he was appointed in March, 1915, justice of the Municipal Court of Concord, and made such an excellent record that he was reappointed by the succeeding governor, of the opposite political faith.

June 12, 1917, Judge Clark was married to Jennie Agnes Ross of New Brunswick, who survives him.

The Manchester Leader says of him: "He was interested in so many things, was so prominent a figure in so many circles, and was,' withal, such a good fellow, so companionable, so much of a contributor to the life and movement of things, that all knew and liked him. As a police judge he did genuinely constructive things. A Democrat, and named for office by a Democratic governor, he made so clean a record, made his judgeship such a model of industry, probity, and impartial and energetic law enforcement, that a Republican governor continued him in office to the evident satisfaction of sound men of all shades of political belief."
