Frank Hamilton Clark (September 26, 1844 – November 29, 1882) was an American railroad executive and banker.[1] He was the president of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad.

Early life

Clark was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] Clark was the fourth and youngest son of Sarah Crawford Dodge and Enoch White Clark.[1] His father was the founder of the financial firm Clark, Dodge and Co., also known as E. W. Clark & Co., in Philadelphia in 1837 and by mid-century had become one of the city's 25 millionaires.[2]

In 1859, Clark entered the University of Pennsylvania to study science. He joined the Delta Psi fraternity[3] and left the school in 1860.[1]

After the Civil War started, Clark enlisted in the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment as a first lieutenant on November 3, 1862.[4] He served as an aide–de–camp for General David B. Birney.[1] He was severely wounded in the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 and was honorably discharged because of physical disability.[1] He resigned his active commission on November 5, 1866.[4]

Career

After the war, Clark joined the family firm and became a banker.[1]

His family also had railroad interests, and from 1871 to 1873, he served as the president of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad.[1][5]

Personal life

Clark was elected a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia in 1867.[6]

In 1871, Clark married Jessie Rice of St. Paul, Minnesota, daughter of lawyer, railroad president, and U.S. Representative Edmund Rice.[1][5] She died within three years at the age of 24.[5]

In 1882, Clark died in Philadelphia, aged 38.[1]
