    Clark R. Tefft, son of John and Abby Tefft, was born in Richmond, R. I., May 3, 1819, and died March 1, 1894.

    He was converted when fourteen years of age and united with the Wood River Six Principle Church. He was married March 14, 1841, to Hannah Webster. In September, 1854, he moved with his family to Albion, Wis., where, having sometime previously turned to keep the Sabbath, they united with the Albion Church.

    After some years, owing to poor health, Mr. Tefft moved to Fulton that he might work in a woolen mill at that place. There he worked on the Sabbath, for which he was cut off from the Church and never after held any church connection. He suffered much with poor health till called away. The last years of his life were spent in Janesville, Wis. Burial was at Albion, Sabbath-day, March 3d. Sermon by the pastor, Text, 1 Cor. 15: 55.
