Century Memorial
During the thirteen years from 1907 to 1920, Lester Williams Clark served on the Supreme Bench of this state; administering justice, in the words of a committee of lawyers who reviewed his career, “without regard to political considerations, without fear or favor, and strictly as a judge should act.” He was a very well-read man, described by his intimates as old-fashioned in his tastes, a fine example of the gentleman of the old school.
