Smith, Hon. Clark E. (son of David and Nancy), born in Starkey, March 8, 1842, was educated at the public schools
and Dundee Academy, and until twenty two years of age, was engaged in farming. In 1864 he opened a store in Dundee
in company with Chalion Headly, under the firm name of Smith & Headly, continuing until 1866. In the same year
he formed a partnership with George W. Kingsley, the firm name being Smith & Kingsley. They continued in the
mercantile business until about 1873, when it was again changed to Smith & Headly, remaining so until 1875,
when Mr. Smith opened a store alone, and continued until 1885. He was town clerk for five or six years, was elected
supervisor of Starkey and held that office six years. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1884 and 1885,
and since that has retired from business. He married in 1866, Mary A. Headly, and had one son, William, who died
from a shot wound received from a toy pistol, when eleven years of age.
