This record can be found as image 10/13 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for St-Armand (Methodist Church) 1867. The record appears on verso folio 9 (the back of folio 9).

This particular record is from the civil transcript of the circuit record. Clark was baptized when he was 43 years old.

Clark Gibson, son of John Gibson and Sarah Waters, would later marry Maryette Olds, daughter of Willard Olds and Hannah Eliza Shults, whose birth and baptismal record I showed yesterday

I could not read the first name of the second witness.
