They established their home at Hazelwood, Burnside. A staunch Unitarian, philanthropist and reformer, Miss Clark was appalled by the conditions under which orphaned and destitute children were cared for in the colony. Along with Catherine Helen Spence, among others, she campaigned for adoption of the boarding-out system, which was instituted in 1871. Miss Clark and Miss Spence founded the Boarding-out Society, which gave voluntary help to the Destitute Board. In 1887, Miss Clark was appointed to the State Children's Council, a post she held until 1905. In that capacity, she was involved in many legal and social reforms for the benefit of South Australian children. During her retirement, she wrote her memoirs, some of which form part of this record group. Susan Mary Crompton (1846-?) was the wife of Joseph Crompton, who established the Stoneyfell vineyards and olive groves, along with Henry and Algernon Clark. She worked with her sister Emily on the boarding-out system, and joined the State Children's Council in 1906. During World War I - she was one of the first women in South Australia to be appointed Justice of the Peace.

Caroline Emily Clark (1825-1911), known as Emily Clark, arrived in South Australia from England in June 1850. She became a social reformer, especially known for championing the cause of children in institutions, and for her efforts in the founding of the ‘boarding-out system’ for settling destitute and orphan children with foster families in Adelaide. She worked with fellow Unitarians Annie Montgomerie Martin and Catherine Helen Spence. She was appointed to the State Children’s Council in December 1886. Spence’s book State children in Australia: a history of boarding out and its developments was written about Clark’s work and was published by the State Children’s Council in 1907 in recognition of her service. Members of her family are frequently mentioned. Her father, Francis Clark (1799-1853), and his wife Caroline (1800-1877) emigrated to Australia and arrived on 11 June 1850, with their seven children: Caroline Emily (1825-1911), Algernon Sidney (1826-1908), John Howard (1830-1878),Henry Septimus (1837-1864), Ellen Rosa (1839-1899), Matthew Symonds (1839-1920), and Susan Mary (1846-1932).
