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. His mouth and chin bespoke firmness. His complexion 'was dark. As I saw Dr. Clark, he was a very kind, gentlemanly old man, and appreciated every kindness he received." From Austin L. Reynolds, of South Glens Falls. Mr. Reynolds knew Dr. Clark for many years, and assisted him in the temperance work : " Dr. Clark's name was Billy, instead of William. He was stocky in form, and weighed albout 175 lbs. His height was about 5 ft. 6 in.; complexion fair; dark hair and eyes, and very heavy eyebrows. He was pecuniarily successful as a physician and as a business man. Was the owner of several farms and was interested in a paper mill, situated on what is known as Snoot Kill Creek. Later, he moved to Glens Falls and was proprietor of a drug store for a number of years in that village. Then he returned to Clark's Corners wifh his daughter, Mrs. Alfred C. Farlin (widow), as housekeeper, and remained at his
