C .", by which some of her earlier work was signed, in 1880, by her occasional poems in the Boston Index, of which her husband was for a time assistant editor, and in the Springfield, Republican. Her life, as she put it, had been one of intellectual aspirations and clamorous dish-washing and bread-winning. Clark left Florence, Massachusetts in 1884, returning to her father's house in Northumberland with her youngest child, an only daughter, her two older children being boys. There, for two years, she was a teacher in the high school, varying her duties by teaching music and German outside of school hours, story and verse writing, and leading a Shakespeare class. In August, 1887, she accepted a position in the Good Cheer office, Greenfield, Massachusetts, till she was recalled to Northumberland the following February by the illness of her father. He died a little later, after which time Clark has made her home in her native town. Clark has a large circle of friends, and her social duties took up much of her time, but she made time write a weekly column for the Sudbury, Massachusetts News, to perform the duties pertaining to her office as secretary of the Woman's Relief Corps in her town, to lead a young people's literary society, and to contribute stories and poems to Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, the Christian Union, the Woman's Journal, and the Springfield Republican. {{sfn|Willard|Livermore|1893|p=177}} Her Verses was published in 1891 in Philadelphia by Lippincott.{{sfn|Duzee|1902|p=65}}Personal lifeThe Clark's had at least one child, a son, John.{{sfn|Duzee|1902|p=65}} By 1911, she was living in Brooklyn, New York.{{sfn|J.L.
