OBITUARIES File Photo Detroiter Mattie Moss Clark recorded three albums that went gold. Gospel legend also raised family of famous singers BY JEANNE MAY Free Press Staff Writer Mattie Moss Clark was a shining light of gospel music who directed choirs, wrote songs that became classics and turned her five daughters into a famed gospel The Detroiter died Thursday at Providence Hospital in Southfield after a long illness.

She was 69. "She was a legend, a musical legend," the Rev. Jim Holley, pastor of the Little Rock Baptist Church, said Friday. "A lot of singers sing the life, but they don't live it. Mattie Moss not only sang the life, but she lived the life, and that's what made her music have so much effect on people "She will be extremely missed not by a city, but by a country." Mrs.

Clark and her richly talented family gave gospel three of its most important acts: first Mrs. Clark herself, then her brother and his family, Bill Moss and the Celestials. And most famous of all, Mrs. Clark's daughters, the Clark Sisters Jackie, Denise, Elbernita (called Twinkie), Dorinda and Karen. Mrs.

Clark was the nation's leading female choir director, training not only her daughters, but also such gospel headliners as Donald Vails, Rance Allen and Beverly Glenn. PAUL W. THOMPSON, 85, a conservationist known as "Mr. Big Tree of Michigan," died of a stroke Tuesday at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. Mr.

Born in Manchester, N.H., he received a master's degree from the University of Illinois. He moved to Michigan in 1938 to work as a research chemist at Ethyl Corp. in Ferndale. Mr.

Thompson has been honored for his work several times, including the Oak Leaf service award from the Nature Conservancy in 1975. He also was a founding member of the Michigan Natural Areas Council. Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Dorothy; daughters Nancy and Jane Babbitt; a brother, and two grandsons. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Monday at First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham, 1669 W.

Maple Road, Birmingham. FRANCIS YUKIO NAKAGAWA, 69, a retired financial analyst for Ford Motor died of cancer Wednesday at Providence Hospital in Southfield. Born in Seattle to parents of Japanese descent, Mr. Nakagawa was sent with his family to an internment camp in 1942. He spent nearly two years there before coming to the Detroit area in 1944 and entering the University of Detroit.

In 1945, he was drafted into the Army and served for seven years. He returned to earn bachelor's and master's degrees from U-D. The Redford Township resident was very involved with Ford's Japanese division and served for 15 years as host, interpreter and guide for dozens of Japanese visitors. He retired four years ago. He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Berta; daughters Susan Jokinen, Audrey Penner and Lisa Nordstrom; two sisters, and four grandchildren.

The funeral will be at 9 a.m. today at Our Lady of Loretto Catholic Church, 25700 W. Six Mile, Redford Township. Burial will be in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Southfield. DEATHS ELSEWHERE Daniel Corrigan, 93, an Episcopal Fleeing terror, they wait and hope BY CECIL, ANGEL Free Writer From a refugee shelter in southwest Detroit, the Ambassador Bridge looms as a towering symbol of freedom for two terror-whipped Burundis.

The unrelated man and woman and her 5-month-old daughter want to settle in Canada, and it's important to them that they do it quickly. They need to help spouses and other family members left behind who are being dogged by murdering gangs armed with machetes and stones. "It hurts me so much," the 27-yearold Kirundi-speaking West African woman nan said tearfully last week through an interpreter. "I get so angry and I cry sometimes because I have no country." For now, home is the headquarters of the Refugee Coalition, a former convent on West Lafayette that has served as a haven for Central American, European and African refugees while they complete their applications for asylum in Canada. Last year, the coalition counseled or resettled into the United States or Canada 474 refugees from 44 nations.

The refugees get legal services including referrals, border exam preparation, food, clothing and medical care.

"She was a taskmaster," Vails once said. "She fussed, she scolded, she harangued, but she inspired the whole while." Among the classics she wrote are "Climbing Up the Mountain," and "Salvation is Free." Three of her albums went gold. Mrs. Clark grew up in Selma, where her mother preached, sang and played any musical instrument she could get her hands on. "I remember playing the piano even before my feet could touch the floor," Mrs.

Clark once said. In later years, as fame and honor washed over her, she never took credit for her accomplishments. "Everything I know," she said, "God has taught it to me." Mrs. Clark was the widow of the Rev. Elbert Clark.
