Clark McGinnis

Arthur “Clark” McGinnis, age 69, of Pleasanton, Kansas, passed away at his farm on June 23, 2024, as the result of an accident. He was born the son of Arthur Edgar and Mary Lorene Moslander McGinnis on June 18, 1955, in Fort Scott, Kansas. Clark graduated from Pleasanton High School in 1973 and attended Pittsburg State University for a brief time before coming back to work at the family farm. Throughout the years he was a very hard worker, cutting thousands upon thousands of cords of firewood and managing the cattle on the farm.
