CLARK - EDITH JULIA
passed away Sept. 15, 1999
at the Stettler Auxiliary Hospital
where she has been a
resident for five years. Edie
was born at Fort Vermilion,
AB in December 1906, one of
15 children born to Fort Vermilion
pioneers Julia and
Sheridan Lawrence. In August
1924, Edie married Clifford
Clark of the Scales district
north of Erskine and it
was here that they farmed
and raised their family. Their
farm was known as " Green
Gabies" and was for many
years a gardener's show-place.
Edie Clark, whose interests
were many and
varied, accomplished much in
her lifetime; she was never
* afraid to stand up and be
counted for what she believed
to be of benefit to her
community. At the age of 17
she taught at " The Ranche"
school at Fort Vermilion and
continued to teach all her life
about those things she loved -
gardening, handicraft, pottery,
history, nature and her
love of antiques. Women's
institute played an important
role in Edie's life. She became
a charter member of Ka-nata
Women's Institute in
July 1927. Through this association
she helped raise
money for the Red Cross during
the war; lobbied successfully
for pavement on Highway
835 and for the installation
of emission monitors on
gas wells north of Erskine; organized
the first Women's Institute
girls club in this area
and spearheaded the formation
of the Erskine Library.
She was also involved in Bar
Harbour becoming a church
camp and with the Edith and
John Wight land becoming
Rochon Sands Provincial
