CLARK WARREN HUNTLEY
MR. SPEAKER: Your committee, appointed to prepare a suitable resolution commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Clark Warren Huntley, begs leave to submit the following memorial:
Clark Warren Huntley, son of Lyman and Mary Huntley, was born May 26, 1866, on a farm in Warren Township, Lucas County, where he spent most of his life. He passed away in Des Moines on March 1, 1948.
His early schooling was in the rural school near his home, followed by a select school in Chariton. Later he attended the Institute of Technology of Chicago, Illinois.
He taught school for three winters. He was secretary of the school board for a number of years.
After returning from the Institute of Technology, he accepted a position as engineer and operator of the Chariton Municipal Electric plant.
His father served as a representative in the State Legislature in the Twenty-sixth General Assembly and Twenty-sixth Extra Session. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was elected Representative in 1910 and reelected in 1912, serving in the Thirty-fourth and Thirty-fifth General Assemblies of Iowa. He was active on agriculture, animal industry, schools, roads, labor, and educational institutions committees.
He was appointed by Governor Wilson on the first State Soil Conservation Committee, continuing to serve until 1948, being appointed to his last term by Governor Hickenlooper.
He was appointed to the first legislative committee of the Farm Bureau, and served continuously in this position for ten sessions of the legislature. He also served as Vice President of the State Farm Bureau for five years, and two years on the Executive Committee from his district.
Mr. Huntley was united in marriage to Anna L. Campbell on June 26, 1895. She preceded him in death in 1920. Five children were born to this union, with a daughter, Mary, and a son, Mark, surviving.
Therefore, Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixtieth General Assembly of Iowa: That in the passing of the Honorable Clark Warren Huntley the state has lost an honored citizen and a faithful and useful public servant, and the House by this resolution would express its appreciation of his service, and tender its sympathy to the members of his family.
Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the House and that the Chief Clerk be directed to forward an enrolled copy to the family of the deceased.
