Charles Clark was the superintendent of the Union Printers Home from 1896 – 1898. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1861, where he grew up and learned the printing trade from a young age. He completed his apprenticeship at the Ohio Statesman newspaper and Paul & Thrall book printers. During his apprenticeship he became a member of the local Columbus Typographical Union, and held a number of leadership positions there over the next few years. In 1890, he moved to Omaha, NE, and became affiliated with the local union there for the next few years.
He married Agnes E. Savage in September 1891, and she served as the Matron of the Home during the time Mr. Clark was superintendent. The Clarks remained in Omaha until they came to the Home in 1896. They had a daughter named Mary, who was born around 1892, so she would have been a small child during her time living at the Union Printers Home.
Following their time at the Home, the Clarks moved to Washington, D.C., where Charles worked in the government printing office. We do not know when he died.
