CLARKE, Sada Louise, 92, died on October 23, 2010, in Richmond, Virginia, her home for the past 67 years. Although her parents were residing in Washington, D.C. at the time, she was born in 1918 while her mother was visiting her maternal grandparents, Emma Belle and William Henry Emerson, at Hodges, South Carolina. Sada Louise Clarke was preceded in death by her parents, Louise Emerson and W. Spurgeon Clarke, of the Mt. Carmel Community of Seaboard, North Carolina; and her sister, Kathleen Clarke Pearce of Atlanta. She is survived by her brother, William S. Clarke Jr. Col. USAF (Ret.) of Raleigh; and his son, William S. Clarke III of New York City; and his daughter, Elizabeth Stephenson Clarke of Washington, D.C.; her nephew, William Clarke Pearce of Buford, Georgia; and niece, Louise Pearce Hillenbrand of Columbus, North Carolina; and by her cousins, Carol Smith Bennett and Mabel Smith of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Maggi Bradon of Atlanta. Sada Louise Clarke graduated from Severn High School in Severn, N.C. in 1935, from Meredith College in Raleigh in 1939, and did graduate studies at the University of Richmond.

There she completed a 40-year career as an associate agricultural research economist. Her achievements included the 1973 publication by the Reserve Bank of her book, "The Changing Face of Fifth District Agriculture," an analysis of the transition of agriculture during the quarter century 1945 to 1970 in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, most of West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

An avid bird watcher, Miss Clarke was a member of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and participated in several of the laboratory's Citizen Science Research Projects after retiring from the Federal Reserve Bank.
