CLARK, SAMUEL P., attorney at law and Notary Public ; the first col- ored man commissioned as Notary Public in the State of Iowa; office in Starr Block, cor. Jefferson and 5th sts .; he was born Jan. 1, 1842, in New York City ; came to Burlington in 1877; he graduated at Howard's University, Washington, D. C., in 1874, and was admitted to practice at the Iowa bar during the June term, 1878, in Burling- ton, Iowa, where he is permanently lo- cated.

Coalter, T. J., Jr., carp., 523 Cameron. COCHRAN, R. L., DR., was born in Wrightsville, York Co., Penn., Dec. 18, 1843; bis parents moved to Philadelphia when he was 3 years old, remained there about nine years, and then returned to Wrightsville; from their old home they went to Mechanics- burg, where R. L. commenced the study of dentistry, which he continued at the
Pennsylvania College, where he matricu- ulated; he practiced in Mechanicsburg one year and a half; in September, 1863, he came to Burlington. The struggle, the absolute poverty endured by him ; the hard battle fought for suc- cess, without, as he then imagined, even the shadow of a chance, is known and no doubt well remembered by some men prominent in Burlington to-day. George Sweny recollects how he slept in an om- nibus standing in front of the Lawrence House, one night; how he went hungry for the want of a few cents ; how he was induced upon the young man's frank and open representation of his case to rent him a bare room in which to under- take to establish a practice. We might here mention the fact that previous to his advent in Burlington, he worked in a grocery store, in Philadelphia, owned by Isaac Griffith, as errand boy ; Mr. Griffith also practiced dentistry up-stairs, and the compensation of Dr. Cochran was the privilege of having access to his (Griffith's) library and the observation of his operations. Dr. Cochran has known privations of the severest nature, which the friends of his present well deserved prosperity would hardly credit. He graduated regularly at the Missouri Dental College in 1873. Dec. 19, 1866, the Doctor married Miss Maria Holland ; they have two children-Maud Z. and Willie L. He was elected Vice Presi- dent of the Iowa State Dental Society in 1877, and made its President in 1878. No doubt Dr. Cochran has as fine a practice as may be found in the State ; through merit and perseverance he has risen from absolute poverty to position and ease.
