Text: REV. HUGH PARK McCLURKIN, D. D.
The death of Dr. McClurkin, at his home, No. 1198 Fillmore street, Topeka, on February 18, 1905, removed an able divine, a man of deep spiritual character and one of the great expounders of the Presbyterian faith. He was born near Rock Creek, Chester County, South Carolina, November 12, 1823, and was a son of John and Elizabeth McClurkin.
The parents of Dr. McClurkin were deeply religious people, who gave up all the advantages they enjoyed in a beautiful Southern home, because they were conscientiously opposed to slavery. They removed to Illinois in the fall of 1833, settling near Sparta.
Inheriting much from these worthy parents, our subject was also a youth of strong mentality, and during his school days and at Duquesne College (now Western University), Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in 1845, he was far in advance of his fellow-students. Upon completing his theological course in the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Cincinnati, he was
licensed by the Lakes Presbytery, April 20, 1848, was ordained by the Pittsburg Presbytery and on October 15, 1850, was installed Pastor of the congregation at Salt Creek (now known as New Concord), Ohio. This charge he resigned in October, 1882, after 32 years of work in this field. From 1884 to 1891 he was pastor at Wahoo, Nebraska; from 1891 until 1893, he was pastor of the United Presbyterian Church at Denison, Kansas. He then came to Topeka, where he served as pastor of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church from 1896 until 1902.
Since the close of this last pastorate Dr. McClurkin was in failing health. During his active years no clergyman wielded a more powerful influence, which was not confined to the pulpit, but permeated the communities in which he lived, bringing about reforms and arousing public sentiment. In reproducing the resolutions adopted by the Topeka Ministerial Union on this sad occasion, an evidence is shown of the high value placed upon his years of fidelity to his calling and of the reverence in which he was held. This paper reads as follows:
Resolved, by the Topeka Ministerial Union, That in the life work and zeal of the late Rev. H. P. McClurkin, D. D., we recognize with gratitude to God, the noble man, the Christian gentleman, the ripe scholar, the wise teacher, the sound theologian, the loving companion, the loyal Christian, and zealous worker and helper in all good causes within his reach. His long and useful life was a blessing to the world, and his faithfulness to this union for many years gives a fragrancy to his memory which we will cherish through all the coming years.
(Signed):
JOHN D. KNOX,
STEWART SHELDON.
Dr. McClurkin is survived by his widow and six children, namely: Mary E.; Juliett, who lives at home; Emma; Eva; Albert W. and Carrie. Mary E. is the wife of Rev. T. P. Stevenson, D. D., pastor of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They have five children: Waldo, a minister of the Presbyterian Church and missionary to Cuba; Clara, wife of Matthew McConnell, of
Philadelphia; Pennsylvania; Helen and Eva, who live at home; and T. P., Jr., a civil engineer under Queen Wilhelmina, of The Netherlands. Emma is the wife of Rev. J. C. Gibney, of Newton, Kansas. They have two children, Albert and Harry, who are students at Tarkio College, Tarkio, Missouri. Eva is the wife of L. E. Gruber, an attorney-at-law at Lincoln, Nebraska. They have two daughters, Helen
and Alberta. The only son of our subject, Rev. Albert W. McClurkin, is a Presbyterian minister of Chicago, Illinois. He married Anna Garland of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and they have three children: Eleanor, Rachel and Jean. Carrie is the wife of W. H. Meyer, a merchant at Enid, Oklahoma. They have one daughter, Lois.

H. P. MCCLURKIN, whose biographical sketch appears in Glasgow's History, is recorded there as holding the pastorate of the Wahoo, Nebraska, congregation of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. This was in the year 1888. He had been installed here February 29, 1884. He held this pastorate until the latter part of the year 1891 or the beginning of 1892, when, at his own request, he was released from this charge and soon after left the communion of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and entered the United Presbyterian Church. On November 8, 1894, he was received again into the membership of the Reformed Presbyterian Church through the Iowa Presbytery. The following year he was transferred to the Kansas Presbytery and for a while preached as stated supply at Wahoo, Nebraska, where he had been pastor formerly. Later he filled appointment as stated supply at Topeka, Kansas, where he made his home until the end of his life. After serving the Topeka congregation as stated supply for 7 or 8 years he was compelled to give up the work in the year 1902 on account of failing health. He continued, however, to make his home in this city, glorifying God by a godly life until the call came for him to enter the Heavenly Ministry, on February 18, 1905. He not only filled well his congregational charge but had a broad grasp of public questions and always exerted a deep influence upon his community. A beautiful tribute was paid to his memory by the Ministerial Association of Topeka, Kansas, at his funeral. His fellowministers attended in a body, and his pall-bearers were ministers with whom he had been associated in past years in various reform efforts. He had been ordained to the Ministry of the Gospel on October 15, 1850, and served the Lord in that capacity for 55 years. A short life is too long for any sinner. A long life is too short for any saint.

Text: From the Sketches of Ministers section on page 580:
HUGH PARK McCLURKIN, D. D.:
Son of John and Elizabeth (Park) McCIurkin, was born near Rocky Creek, Chester District, South Carolina, November 6, 1821. His parents were among the early Covenanters of the South, and removed from that country on account of slavery, in the fall of 1833, and settled near Sparta, Randolph County, Illinois. He received his early education in the schools of his native and adopted countries, and graduated from Duquesne College in 1845. He studied theology in the Cincinnati Seminary, and was licensed by the Lakes Presbytery, April 20, 1848. He was ordained by the Pittsburgh Presbytery, and installed pastor of the Salt Creek congregation (now New Concord), New Concord, Muskingum County, Ohio, October 15, 1850, and resigned this charge, October 8, 1856. He was re-installed pastor, December 2, 1858, and resigned, October 4, 1882. He was installed pastor of the congregation of Wahoo, Saunders County, Nebraska, February 29, 1884, where he is in charge. He married Miss Jane Orr, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, January 17, 1843. He was for many years a Trustee of Muskingum College, and President pro tem of that institution for two years, beginning in 1859. He was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Muskingum College in 1879. He was Moderator of the Synod of 1868.

Text: MINUTE ON THE DEATH OF DR. H. P. McCLURKIN.
In the death of Dr. H. P. McClurkin, at Topeka, Kan., February 18th, 1905, the Church has lost a minister of no ordinary attainments.
He was born November 6th, 1821, near Rocky Creek, Chester District, South Carolina. His early life amidst the evils of slavery gave him peculiar instincts that guided him in his antagonism to the system in his mature years.
He began his school life in his native State, and continued it in Washington County, Illinois, to which place his family removed in 1833. H e graduated from the Western Pennsylvania University in 1845. After a course of theology in the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, in Cincinnati, he was licensed by Lakes Presbytery April 20th, 1848. After manifold labors in different fields of ministerial service he retired from the active duties of the ministry in 1902, and lived a quiet life until his death.
That he won the appreciation of the Church and of other denominations is manifest by a widespread reverence for his memory; by his election as Moderator of Synod in 1868, and by being honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Muskingum College in 1879.
The power of Dr. McClurkin was especially manifest in his grasp of public questions and in the influence that he exerted on the whole community wherever his lot was cast. As an instance of this we make mention of the beautiful tribute paid to his memory by the Ministerial Association of Topeka,
Kan., at his interment. His fellow-ministers attended his funeral in a body, and his pallbearers were ministers with whom he had been associated in past years in various reform efforts.
He was easily a standard-bearer among men; he was deeply devoted to every good reform; as a counsellor he was an Ahithophel, and as a comforter, an Isaiah. He was a man of prayer and of work, and therefore a power in the lives of men. His was a life of service-his an eternity of reward.
