Biography
Clark was born in Berlin, Maryland, the son of William J. Clark, an Episcopal clergyman whose abolitionist sympathies made his stay in Southern parishes short. Charles was educated at a school in Georgetown, D.C., and at the age of fifteen became an office boy in a Philadelphia commission house. During the American Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army. He was discharged two years later at the close of the war. He then became a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer, and within two months was promoted to editorial writer. Later he was a dramatic and music critic of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, and an editorial writer on the North American. He was interested in economics, and he was a strong advocate of a high tariff. The bias led him to become editor and proprietor of the Textile Record, a founder and secretary of the Manufacturers' Club, and editor of its organ, the Manufacturer. Clark was also on the board of directors of the Johnson and Johnson medical supply company. He became independently wealthy through investments and retired from editorial work to his suburban home in Conshohocken, Pa. He was twice married, his first wife having been Clara Lukens; she died in 1895. Two years later, he married Elizabeth Killé Clark, a "distant cousin." Clark was the sister of Walter Leighton Clark, an industrialist and founder of the Grand Central Art Galleries.
