General Clark Swett Edwards
b. March 26, 1824, d. May 3, 1903
- General Edwards was said to be modest and retiring, social and genial in his habits and strongly attached to his family and friends.1
- General Clark Swett Edwards was born on March 26, 1824 in Otisfield, Maine, youngest son and child of Enoch and Abigail (McLellan) Edwards. His father and mother were of Gorham, Maine, and the latter was of the distinguished family of McLellan, closely identified with the early history of that town. They had an old fashioned family of eleven children.
- In 1848, General Clark Swett Edwards, with Edwin R. Eastman bought out Kimball and Pattee and went into trade in a store which stood where the store of Ceylon Rowe later stood at the northwest corner of the Common. After a year they purchased a building standing southerly and a little back of the store they then occupied, which had been used as a shoemaker's and harness making shop, moved it up in line with their store and that of John Harris, then occupied by Abernathy Grover, which stood farther south, and finished the three stores under one roof. This was the block that was burned during the war and has since been rebuilt. He subsequently built the store near the railroad, on the spot where the store of Woodbury & Purrington now stands, and traded in company with Charles Mason. He sold out to Mason and the store was afterwards burned. Mr Edwards then built a store near the foot of Vernon street, where he traded until 1858, when he sold out. During these years he built several houses at various parts of the village, and in various ways contributed to the growth and prosperity of Bethel Hill.1
- Clark married Maria Antoinette Mason, daughter of Ayers Mason and Eunice Hale, on December 5, 1849 in Bethel, Oxford County, Maine.
- At the breaking out of the war, when the first call was issued for 300,000 men, Mr. Edwards took out recruiting papers and was chosen Captain of the first company organized under this call, in the county. This company became Company I, of the 5th Maine Regiment, and an account of it is given in another place. Captain Edwards was rapidly promoted and soon had the command of the regiment, which he handled in the leading engagements of the Army of the Potomac including Gettysburg, until the expiration of his term in the summer of 1864, except a portion of the time when he commanded a brigade. He was a brave and capable officer, and for conspicuous bravery was promoted to Brigadier General by brevet.1
- Returning to his home in 1864, General Edwards engaged in agriculture, which was ever his favorite persuit, and this was his chief employment since that time. He cleared an extensive tract of grass land situated on Alder River.1
- On July 27, 1865 General Clark Swett Edwards was discharged with rank of Brig-Gen. for conspicuous bravery.
- In 1874 General Clark Swett Edwards built an immense barn on Vernon Street, Bethel, Oxford County, Maine, which he filled with hay, his usual annual crop being about 100 tons.1
- The census of 1880 shows: Clark S. Edwards, Clark was a farmer; and Mariah A. Edwards listed with Herbert A. Edwards, Ayers M. Edwards, Fred L. Edwards and Dell E. Edwards
living at Bethel, Oxford County, Maine.2 - In 1886 at Maine the Democratic nomination for Governor of Maine was urged upon him, and he reluctantly consented to accept it. He polled the full vote of his party, but as it was in the minority, he was not elected.1
- In 1890 General Clark Swett Edwards was appointed by the Governor of Maine, Commissioner for the Columbian Exposition at Chicago, an appointment which gave general satisfaction.
- Clark died on May 3, 1903 in Bethel, Oxford County, Maine, at age 79.
