         JOHN CLARKE, machinist, Fountain City, was born in England,
       Oct. 20, 1824. He came to America in 1852, and located in 
       Jersey City; from there he went to Howard Co., Ind., and from 
       there to Fond du Lac, and in 1855, he came to Fountain City. 
       He, in company with MR. BURLER, of Alma, built the steam grist-
       mill now owned by MR. KAMMERER. It was the first mill built in 
       the county. He sold his interest to MR. BURLER and was engaged 
       in various occupations until 1865, when he began his present 
       business. He has been Deputy Sheriff one term and District 
       Attorney one term. He married ELIZABETH WARING, a native of 
       England. They have six children - MARION, LILLIE, CARRIE, GRACE,
