"The sad intelligence reached Monroe on yesterday by wire of the death of Mrs. Norbone Clark at her home in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday evening at 8:00 o'clock. Her aunt, Mrs. E.T. Lamkin and Miss Marguerite Lamkin had been with her for the past two weeks, since her condition became so critical. Mr. E.T. Lamkin left Saturday night to join them. At present no message has been received by relatives or friends as to the funeral, whether it will be held here or in Mobile. Mrs. Clark, as Miss Minnie Logan, will be remembered as one of the most beautiful young ladies that Monroe ever claimed, which distinction was also given her throughout Alabama after she became Mrs. Norborne Clark. In the midst of love and happiness she was snatched away from an idolizing husband and two devoted little ones. It has been scarcely two months ago when Mrs. Clark with a party of friends were the victims of an automobile accident, three of the party being killed almost instantly. Mrs. Clark remaining almost entirely unconcious up to her death."

Her grandson, Norborne Clarke, III, tells us that Mildred was killed as a young mother in probably the earliest automobile/train colision in the country. Her obituary published in the June 29, 1909 edition of the Monroe News-Star reads as follows:

"No event of recent years caused so much sorrow and such profound sympathy of relatives and friends as the death at 8:30 o'clock last night of Mildred Logan Clarke, the beloved wife of Hon. Norborne R. Clarke of this city. Endowed with youth, beauty and charm of manner, Mrs. Clarke was a favorite with all who knew her. In her girlhood she was the belle of any society, attracting admirers by her looks, her modesty of demeanor, her vivacity and gentleness. It was all out of harmony with so lovely a being that the end should have been so distressful. While enjoying a spring golf meeting near Pensacola on the 20th of April last, there was an accident to an automobile party, occasioned by a collision between the automobile and an electric train; Mrs. Gonzalez of Pensacola was killed and Mrs. J.M. Muldon of the same city and Mrs. Clarke of Mobile were injured. As first reported, the injuries received by Mrs. Clarke were considered serious, but not necessarily fatal, consisting of a broken limb and a contusion upon the head; but the dear lady never fully recovered consciousness, a sign of deep-seated injury, nor did recovery mark the treatment of the broken limb. For two sad months she lingered, growing weaker with time, and at last her gentle spirit breathed its way from the scenes of earthly suffering into the great Beyond.

In all this period of anxious waiting for signs of a restoration that never came, there has been deepest concern shown by the whole community, and every attention has been given. For the bereaved husband especially fullest sympathy has been felt and expressed - all evidencing the great love felt for him and for his life's companion so sorely stricken.

Mrs. Mildred Logan Clarke was the daughter of I.D.B and Mrs. Sallie Wall Richardson Logan of Louisiana, both deceased. She was born in Monroe, Louisiana, August 13, 1881, and became the wife of Judge Clake January 16, 1901.
