There was singing, prayer, a poem by Lura Boies, &c." Statement of Judge Lyman H. Northrup, of Sandy Hill, w<ho remembers Dr. Clark : " He always carried upon his countenance a mild, genial, pleasant expression ; dressed with neatness, and appeared to be a good sort of a fellow, and exhibited not; at all that asperity which we associate in our minds with the active reformer."

BIRTH AT MOREAU OF THE TEMPERANCE REFORMATION. 131

From William Gary, of Gansevoort, who was intimate with Dr. Glark: "He had rather small, black eyes, which would be generally considered rather piercing. His hair was black and very profuse ; eye-brows very shagg}-. His height I should put at 5 ft. ID in., and weight about 170 lbs."

From B. F. Lapham, of Glens Falls : " I was well acquainted with Dr. B. J. Clark. He lived on the same street we did for many years, and when he died I helped prepare his body for burial. He was rather eccentric in many t^hings and very resolute. There never was a meeting held but he would suggest some resolution, so they nicknamed him ' Resolution Billy.' Dr. Clark's name will be famous through all time as the originator of the first temperance organization that ever existed. He was an ardent and efficient laborer all his life." From Miss Anna Mott, of Glens Falls. Miss Mott is a daughter of James ^lott, who was a co-laborer in the temperance cause with Dr. Clark, and his neighbor at Clark's Corners : " As I remember Dr. B. J. Clark, he was a cultured, refined man, with fine sensibility. He ihad a kind word and look for every one that was worthy of it. He was of medium height and size. His hair and eyes were black ; his foreihead high and broad.
