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. -

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.
