JOHN W. CLACK. In reviewing the life of Mr. Clack one would readily
believe that he had never known any other home than the west, so
thoroughly is he imbued with the spirit of the native westerner, but
the truth of the matter is that he did not set foot on its soil until
he had reached his twenty-fifth year. It was in Barren county, Ky.,
that he first saw the light of day, and May 24, 1831, was the date
thereof. Until about fourteen years of age he remained at home with
his parents, doing whatever he could to assist in the work on the
plantation, and also attending school as opportunity offered. At this
early age, however, his independent spirit asserted itself and he
determined to start out and earn his own living, which he did by
working on plantations in the vicinity of his home and also by
clerking in a store.
When eighteen years of age Mr. Clack went to Jackson county, Mo.,
where at first he worked for others by the month, but finally he was
enabled to purchase land of his own and this he at once began to clear
and improve. It was while a resident of that county that he met Miss
Sela J. Lewis, a native of Ray county, Mo., and in 1852 they were
united in marriage. At the time of his marriage Mr. Clack was not
burdened with an over abundance of wealth, $40 being the extent of his
moneyed possessions, but he had what was of more real value to him - a
will to forge ahead, no matter what obstacles might interfere, and the
help and sympathy of his wife. They began housekeeping on the farm in
Jackson county, and this continued to be their home until 1856 when
the farm was sold and with the proceeds, in May, the young people
started across the plains, taking with them sixty head of cattle. It
was in October that they reached their destination, which was
Healdsburg, Cal., and here they have since resided, never having
regretted their choice of a location. Mr. Clack soon after his arrival
here purchased a half interest in a livery stable, and for eight years
he conducted a livery business. About this time he was elected marshal
of the town, holding the office for four terms, and so well pleased
were his fellow-citizens with his method of handling public affairs
that they continued him in public office, next as deputy county
assessor, then school assessor, and finally as deputy. sheriff,
holding the latter position two Years. Once again retiring to private
life he became interested in the management of a store and also ran an
auction store for a time. As time went on he carefully saved his
earnings and was enabled to show a bank account many times the size of
the $40 with which he started out in 1852. About 1876 he purchased the
Sotoyoma hotel, paying for the same $15,000, and after running it for
about six years disposed of the property and has since lived retired.
In national affairs Mr. Clack is a Democrat, but in local matters
votes for the man who in his judgment is best fitted to fill the
office. Mr. and Mrs. Clack have had no children of their own; but they
have opened their hearts and home to two children whose mother died
when they were infants, and in their foster-parents they have found
all the love and attention it would have been possible for natural
parents to bestow. Mr. Clack can look back upon his past efforts in
life with satisfaction, for from practically nothing he has risen to
an independent position, free from care from a monetary point of view,
at least. As an evidence of his faith in the future growth of
Healdsburg he has invested in real estate to a considerable extent and
now owns three residences from which substantial rents accrue.
To speak of the success that has come to Mr. Clack and make no mention
of his wife would be an injustice, for to her he gives credit for a
large share of the success that has attended his efforts. Not only in
her own home has she been a source of help and comfort, but in the
homes within a wide radius of Healdsburg she is known as an efficient
nurse and the dispenser of loving attention and good cheer to those in
trouble or affliction. Both Mr. and Mrs. Clack are held in the highest
esteem throughout Sonoma county, which was especially evidenced at
their golden wedding anniversary, April 8, 1902.
