He was born in Maryborough, Queen's County and was admitted to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1836.[1] While in Dublin, he had become involved in the Orange Order, at that time illegal. Fearing an investigation by the authorities,[1] Clarke came to Upper Canada. He was admitted to the practice of medicine there in 1839. He became a member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Upper Canada the following year. He settled in the village of Guelph, becoming one of the first physicians there. Clarke was a commissioner of the Court of Requests, a justice of the peace and also served as warden for Wellington County. He was a director of the Guelph and Galt Railway. He helped establish the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario and served as its president from 1869 to 1974.[2] He was married twice: first to Laura Ann Second, the daughter of Laura Secord and the widow of Captain John Poore,[3] and then to Clara Pigott Strange, the widow of Judge William Dummer Powell.[4] Clarke died in Guelph at the age of 74.[2] His son Lionel Herbert Clarke was a prominent Toronto merchant and served as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.[4] References1. ^{{cite book |url=http://www.ourroots.ca/page.aspx?id=949963 |title=History of Guelph, 1827-1927 |pages=118–20 |year=1977 |last=Johnson |first=Leo Albert}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Clarke, William}}{{Ontario-mayor-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |url=http://www.ourroots.ca/page.aspx?id=618127 |title=The medical profession in Upper Canada, 1783-1850 : an historical narrative ... |page=296 |year=1894 |last=Canniff |first=William}} 3. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sGrKc-y68qYC&pg=PA209 |title=Laura Secord: Heroine of the War of 1812 |pages=209–10 |last=Leavey |first=Peggy Dymond |year=2012 |ISBN=1459703685}} 4. ^1 {{cite DCB |ID=8078 |volume=15 |name=Clarke, Lionel Herbert |last=Moir |first=Michael B}} 7 : Year of birth uncertain|1887 deaths|Mayors of Guelph|Physicians from Ontario|Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada|Irish emigrants to Canada (before 1923)|19th-century Canadian physicians |
