Joseph Hinckley Clark (September 7, 1837 – November 27, 1889) was a member of the Clark banking family of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; an officer in the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry who distinguished himself in combat during the American Civil War[1]; and a director of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad.

Formative years

Born in Philadelphia,[2] Clark was one of four sons of Enoch White Clark (1802-1856), who founded the financial firm E. W. Clark & Co. in Philadelphia in 1837. By mid-century, Enoch Clark had become one of the city's 25 millionaires[3], launching his family into social prominence.

J. Hinckley Clark joined or participated in several organizations of the Philadelphia elite. He graduated from Harvard University in 1856.[2] In 1859, he was elected a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.[4]

Civil War

Post-war life

After the war, Clark worked in the family firm alongside his brothers Edward W. Clark, Clarence H. Clark, and Frank Hamilton Clark.

In 1869, he was a director of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad. At the urging of Jay Cooke, a former E.W. Clark partner whose own company controlled the railroad, he joined Jay's brother Pitt Cooke; Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad president Isaac Hinckley; writer John Townsend Trowbridge and 31 others on a publicity trip to Duluth, Minnesota, to extol the virtues of the new "Chicago on Lake Superior" and the railroad that served it.[10]

In 1873, Clark became a partner in E. W. Clark & Co.[11]

Death and interment

Clark died in Philadelphia on November 27, 1889.[2] He was buried at the cemetery in The Woodlands (Philadelphia) on November 30, 1889.[12]
