   "FIRST LADY" Caption: [Eunice] Clark might be called Idaho Falls' "first lady," her husband, Joseph A. Clark having served as the city's first mayor. Mrs. Clark now lives with her son, Mayor Barzilla W. Clark.
   ...
   Her husband, Joseph A. Clark, was the first mayor of this city, and her son, Barzilla, has served five terms in the same office.
   ...
   Mrs. Clark came to Idaho Falls, then Eagle Rock, with her husband in 1885, 49 years ago. Mr. Clark was a civil engineer. He was the first to dream of a municially owned water system in Idaho Falls. Mrs. Clark was a member of the W. C. T. U. and contributed her time and effort to all the village improvement movements. She was a gifted elocutionist, which might or might not account for her sons' talents in that line. She describes Barzilla, when a youngster, as a "tease." Mrs. Clark recalls that in the early days here there were no class distinctions--the members of the three churches, Catholic, Baptist, and L.D.S., were the best of friends, and frequently held their socials together. Neighbors made a practice of calling on one another, and strangers were given a hospitable welcome. At 84, [Eunice] Clark typifies the spirit of Christianity. Sympathetic and broadminded, she declares herself a non-sectarian, her quiet dignity crowning the richness of experience her life has given her.
