"Roy P. Clark, longtime postmaster of tiny Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific,
died last May 10 at the age of 86, Pitcairn Log reports, quoting the island's
monthly newspaper, Pitcairn Miscellany, to which Clark had been a regular
contributor. Roy Clark was born far from Pitcairn. He was a native of San Francisco,
who went to the island as a youth of 16 and in the following seven decades serviced
his isolated community in many capacities. His father, Lincoln Clark, came to
Pitcairn after being shipwrecked on nearby Ducie Island in 1881. Lincoln returned
to San Francisco, but after the death of his wife went back to the island with
his son. Roy Palmer Clark married Hyacinth May Coffin, daughter of Philip Coffin,
a Nantucket sail-maker who had been shipwrecked at the same time as Lincoln Clark.
Mrs. Clark died in 1974. For several years in the 1930s Roy Clark was the schoolmaster
of Pitcairn Island. Throughout his adult life he held leadership positions in
the island's Seventh-day Adventist Church. For 18 years he was the postmaster,
corresponding with stamp collectors in many parts of the world. After Pitcairn
issued its first stamps in 1940 he helped put together the booklets for the first
issue which in recent years became priceless. Clark was never pictured on a stamp,
but his house was -- on a 20-cent value of the 1968 Pitcairn definitives. It was
included in the series as the oldest house on the island, once the home of Thursday
October Christian, son of Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny on the Bounty
and brought the first permanent settlers to Pitcairn early in 1790." Roy
Palmer Clark and Evelyn May Young had one son, Ralph Chester Clark who was born
on 19 October 1911. Roy and Lillian Ella Coffin had one child, Elvina Imogene

to make. Buffett was his best friend and mentor. Since Buffett had signed on the
ship in Honolulu, Evans had attached himself to the well-traveled and intelligent
older seaman. Now Buffett had chosen to leave. It was not until the Cyrus
had left was it discovered that the young Evans had hidden himself in the hollow
stump of a tree on the island. When discovered, it was decided to allow him to
stay. He was reportedly a very tiny man, reports of his height range from 5' to
5'3" tall. His father was either a coach maker or a watchmaker in Longacre,

for her hand, he did not meet with much success. Her father did not approve of
people marrying too young, and Evans was only 19, and the disparity in their ages
was also an obstacle. However the matter was referred to Rachael for decision,
and her answer came quickly, "Try it, Daddy." At length he reconsidered,
and they were wedded with a ring formed of the outer circle of a limpet shell.
