Walter Clark 1896 obituary notice from White township
On December 17 1896 Walter Clark son of Mr and Mrs Thomas Clawson of White township aged 3 months 23 days. Our darling babe a jewel fair to us was given not quite four months to dearly love and then give back to heaven. We miss him in our cares and sorrows. Our own dear Walter the flower of our home. We will not call him back but whisper God thy will be done. When life’s trials are over we shall smile with joyful heart and see our love on that bright shore and never more depart.

Penrose Winner in Pennsylvania Senate Fight
Philadelphia December 28 Boies Penrose has won the race for United States senator. He expects 152 of 215 Republican votes in the next legislature, with many of the remaining sixty three votes likely to join him. Wanamaker’s campaign is described as a campaign of abuse and revenge led by Frank Willing Leach, aided by a self serving Business Men's League. The Penrose camp pushes for an early caucus to lock in support, while the Wanamaker side fights on, claiming the league is a facade of rich Philadelphia interests.
