BIOGRAPHICAL (From Annals Of The S.W.R. Jones Family): "Sarah Jones Clarke is young at seventy-two [1930]. Her interests are varied but, particularly, she has shared her father's ideas about education. Since she graduated from Willamette University fifty-one years ago [ca. 1879], she has studied in Life's hard school - studied and taught. At Dallas, where she taught in the La Crole Academy; Parkersville, and Rocky Point, former pupils still speak of their favorite teacher".
