He was born in Germantown, New York, December 23, 1872, and is a son of Rev. G. B. and Eunice E. (Clearwater) Clark. The. father, who has for thirty years been a member of the Methodist Episcopal conference of New York, is also a native of this state and the son of Robert Clark, a mechanic. To a limited extent the former attended a seminary during his youth, but his education was mostly obtained through his own unaided efforts and close application. Like all ministers of his denomination, he has been located at various places and now has charge of the congregation at Edenville, Orange county. New York. In his family were three children, namely: Ida, who died in early life; George B., our subject; and Charles J., a civil engineer residing in Armonk.

The following fall he came to Armonk and opened an office, having since been successfully engaged in the general practice of medicine and surgery at that place. He is the only physician in the village, and has established an excellent practice. He has also practiced quite extensively in the Westchester county house, and is a prominent member of the County Medical Society. He also belongs to Syracuse Chapter, Beta Theta Phi, and the Junior Order of American Mechanics. In politics he is a Republican, and for two years he has most capably filled the office of town physician.
