John A. Clark Gravesite in Haifa

Haifa is situated on the Northern Israeli coast. The town is primarily located on the south end of a large harbor, and rises quickly from the coast up to Mt. Carmel. There are two primary areas of Christian burial. One is the larger of the two and is located right on the water on the road from Haifa to Tel Aviv. The second is downtown, on Jaffa and Rothschild streets. I found the grave site here. The third picture down shows John's grave in the foreground and Adolf Haag's in the background.

The pictures are spectacular. I am particularly touched by the inscription on the tomb which was composed and paid for by his father Ezra T. Clark. John Alexander Clark was my grandmother's uncle. (Mary Clark married to Edwin Bennion)I knew her very well.
