Obituary MR. M. C. CLARK
Word was received in Warwick yesterday that Mr. M. C. (Morty) Clark third son of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. ClarK, of East Talgai, had died in Sydney on Sunday last. The late Mr. Clark was well known in this district, and was most popular. He enlisted at the outbreak of the war, and was on active service for some time. On returning to Australia Mr. Clark purchased "Marhaba," near Dulveen, which he sold about seven years ago to Mr. A. W. A. Robbins. He purchased a property in the Goondiwindi district and enjoyed splendid health till a few weeks ago, when he found it necessary to seek medical advice in Sydney. He leaves a widow (daughter, of the late Mr. T. McIlwraith Taylor, of Brisbane) and two sons to mourn their loss. The funeral took place in Sydney yesterday afternoon." - from the Warwick Daily News 22 May 1934 (nla.gov.au)
