127 Henry
Clarke, born July
14, 1818. Married Harriet Champion, of Michi- gan, February, 1844. He is a Law- ver.
* Great integrity, cheerfulness, frankness, sincerity, a strong and instinctive sense of justice, truthfulness that recoiled from a shadow of deception, and a deep reverence for God and sacred things, were the marked characteristics of her life.
t On the resignation of the first Principal of the American Asylum at Hartford for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, (Rev. Thomas II. Gallaudet, ) about twenty-three years since, Mr. Weld was appointed his successor ; and for this long period he discharged the duties of the office with dignity and ability.
In all his arrangements and matters of business, he was remarkably punctnal and syste- matic ; careful to do everything in proper time and in due order. In his intercourse with his pupils, his chief aim and most earnest endeavonr was to do them good, not merely by culti- vating their intellects, but by improving their characters ; by imbuing their minds with worthy sentiments and correet views. While solicitous to prepare them for usefulness and happiness in this present life, he was still more anxious to secure for them a blessed inherit- ance in the life to come. We doubt not, that in the great day of final revision, he will rejoice in the results of his labors and prayers. [ Rer. William W. Turner.]
