History

A. Clark Bury, ca. 1884-1960, was born in Lancashire, England, and in 1903 came to Winnipeg where he joined the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). He was transferred to Calgary in that year and took part in the manhunt for convicted murderer Ernest Cashel. In 1904-1906 he was stationed at Olds, the Peace River area and Fort Macleod, Alberta and Fort St. John, British Columbia. He was discharged from the force in 1908 and resumed law studies which he had begun in England. In 1911 he was police magistrate in Coronation, Alberta. He was admitted to the Bar in 1915 and began practicing in Olds the following year. At some point during First World War he was adjutant at an internment camp in Jasper. He and his wife, Gertrude, 1876-1958, were married ca. 1914. She was admitted to the Bar in 1921 and practiced with Clark in Olds, Calgary and Red Deer. They had two sons, William Haworth and Douglas C. Clark ran unsuccessfully as a Liberal federal candidate for Red Deer in 1940. He and Gertrude lived in Olds until 1950 when they moved to Red Deer.
