| John Clark a rich stevedore
built a dam on the Mongaup Stream for his son William who married Ophelia
Stoddard, a very pretty girl, as a livelihood for them. The lake was 250 feet
wide and a half mile long, they had a dozen boats for hire and a dance
pavilion as thousands of summer boarders came up from the city for two months
for their vacation. In winter there was ice skating for the Liberty young
people to enjoy, and a bar. Lake Ophelia was the name. The pavilion burned
down in 1914. Many years later a four lane highway was built and went through
where the lake used to occupy." Kathy Lynn Emerson William H. Clark b. 1894; d. Upper Montclair NJ Oct. 11, 1915; m. Ophelia Stoddard, sister of Cora and Hannah; son George b. 1904 |
