From his will, made in 1823, the following is taken :
"Knowing the uncertainty of life-thinking that we must always be prepared to die-feeling that it is our duty to do all the good in our power, and believing that part of my property will do more good if given to encourage literature than it would to descend according to law, I, Sheldon Clark, of Oxford, am voluntarily and of my own accord, disposed to make the following will :
"I wish to be buried in a decent manner, and to have decent grave-stones at the discretion of my executors. It is my will, that my just debts and my funeral expenses be paid out of my movable estate. I give and bequeath to the Corporation of Yale College in New Haven, all my homestead farm where I now live, with its buildings and appurtenances-also, all the land that was given to me by my grandfather, Thomas Clark, Esq., on the east side* of the road that runs north and south of Mr. Samuel Tucker, with its buildings and appurtenances-also, all my land that lies north of the road that runs by where George Drake now lives-also, my meadow that lies a few rods west of Rimmon school-house, and also, all my Red Oak farm, &e.
"Funds being so liable to be lost by bad security, it is my will, that the lands I have given to said Corporation shall never be sold, but that they shall be let or rented, in such way and manner, as the President and Fellows of said Yale College, and their successors, forever, shall judge te be for the best interest of said institution. It is my will, that the annual income of said lands shall be annually appro- priated for the advancement of literature in said Yale College, in such a manner as its President and Fellows, and their successors forever, shall deem the best and most beneficial for said institution ; but no part of said donation or income shall ever be appropriated to erect or repair buildings.
" I also give and bequeath to the Corporation of Yale College in New Haven, all the money I shall have on hand and all the notes I shall have due me at the time of my decease, (except three hundred and thirty-four dollars for Chesnut-tree hill school district,) to be appropriated for the benefit of said Yale College, as its President and Fellows, and their successors forever, shall think shall be for its best good, and the most condneive to its prosperity and honor."
" The house and homestead farm were on the west side of the road.

SHELDON CLARK.
He then gives in form, and with certain conditions, the above named sum to the Chestnut-tree hill school district. He gives also to his three sisters a valuable farm, which fell to him from his and their brother, besides other lands acquired after his will was made; also, all his personal estate not otherwise disposed of ; and on his death bed he expressed a wish, that the sisters should receive each one thousand dollars.
He named Abel Wheeler, Esq., of Oxford, and Benjamin Silliman of New Haven, his executors, but Judge Wheeler did not survive him. He died April 11, 1840, from injuries received by a fall from a scaffolding in his barn. Under his extreme sufferings not a word escaped him as to his future prospects : he remarked only, that he had endeavored to do all the good in his power, and as these pages show, his efforts were not in vain.
A large concourse of friends and neighbors and people of the vicinage, with several of the officers of the college and the clergy attended him to his last home. A long retine of rural vehicles wound slowly down the high hills and along the deep valleys to a secluded burying ground, which he had been instrumental in arranging, on a quiet and beautiful plain, shaded by pines and watered by the murmuring current of a branch of the Housatonic A neat marble slab records his name as "a distinguished benefactor of Yale College." Such indeed he was. His benefactions to the institution, includ- ing the funded interest that had accumulated to the time of his death, amounted to full thirty thousand dollars-three times as much as any other individual had ever given.
This object was not accomplished without a long course of stern self- denial-with great industry and severe economy. Mr. Clark expended very little on his own personal accommodation. The plain farmer's house remained as his grandfather left it, without decoration and ahnost without repair; the furniture was of the humblest kind, but a warm welcome was given to his friends and to strangers, with ample provision not only of the produce of a farmer's cultivation and care, but occasionally, with a free hospitality in rarer things.
llis policy was, to angment as far and as fast as possible, his productive capital ; he attempted no improvements in his agriculture ; he hardly preserved fences and buildings in statu quo; little return of manure was made to his hard worked soils, and even his wood and timber, were, to a certain extent, sold for money and cleared away for market, by other hands. lle kept his money always at work-loaned all the cash he did not need. (and his personal wants were few)-required his interest and payments at the day-but was ex- actly just in his dealings-prompt to give his advice when desired, and kind in his treatment of all. His hoarding was not for himself; wife and children he had none, and he laid by his thousands -- the results not of traffic or speen- lation, but of laborious thrifty industry-to furnish the means of a superior education to the children of others, and to generations yet unborn.
