SCHOOL MOURNS
JANITOR ‘JACK’
Old Jade Clark, Faithful High
School Servant, Is
Dead
Students, faculty "and former stu
dents of the Americus High school
are in mourning. For Jack Clark is
dead.
Jack was the faithful old negro
janitor, who had been in charge of
the high school building ever since
its erection. His family says he had
been in the service of the school fol
eleven years. Other citizens who
knew him well said his Connection
with the school covered a period of
20 to 25 years.
Whatever his length of service, he
was a widely loved old darky, of the
type fast disappearing. Always po
lite and accommodating, he knew
every teacher and every pupil by
name, and his only ambition was
perfect service. That he succu d.-d
well those who came in daily contact
with him can testify.
Jack never missed a day from
school, so when he did net appear on
the job Wednesday morning, it wai
occasion for remark and speculation
Then came the word that he was
sick at his home at 1312 Academy
street. At 4:30 o’clock th's morning
he died. And when the high school
students learned of it they quickly
and with one accord arranged to buy
a big wreath of flowers to lay on his
ciffin at the funeral Sunday.
The funeral will be held from Big
Bethel negro church at 1 o’clock, of
which church he was a deacon.
Jack Clark had lived in Americus
for 45 years. He was 70 years odl
or more. He leaves a wife, two sons,
two daughters, 14 grand children anu
3 great grand children.
