 Collection Overview

This small pocket book contains memoranda of carpentry work executed by him between the years 1853 and 1869. They include charges for house carpentry, for cabinetmaking, and for coffin making, as well as notes on small sums paid to his assistant Urias Forsyth, days during which Clark worked with William Akin, and schooling for his son Laban at Mrs. Hatcher's, Miss Paschall's, and Elizabeth Green's.

The entries on p.42 relating to C. C. Wheeler, Co. I, 5th Cav. (N.C.T.) and Andrew N. Wheeler in 1864, probably refer to the brothers of Clark's wife, Louisa J. Wheeler, to whom he was married in Granville County in 1857.
