POWER OF ATTORNEY

I, Michael W. Clarke, do hereby constitute
and appoint J. Adam Sothen, Betsy J. Eicher,
Shannon V. Patterson and Elizabeth P. Davis
my true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, any of
whom acting singly is hereby authorized, for
me and in my name and on my behalf as a director,
officer and/or shareholder of Partners Bancorp,
to (i) prepare, execute in my name and on my behalf,
and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including any
necessary amendments thereto, and any other
documents necessary or appropriate to obtain
or update codes and passwords enabling me to
make electronic filings with the SEC of reports
required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation of the SEC
in respect thereof; and (ii) prepare, execute and
file any and all forms, instruments or documents,
including any necessary amendments thereto, as such

(collectively, "Section 16").

I do hereby ratify and confirm all acts my said

hereof.  I acknowledge that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact,
serving in such capacity at my request, are not assuming,
nor is Partners Bancorp assuming, any of my responsibilities
to comply with Section 16.
This power of attorney shall remain in full force and
effect until it is revoked by the undersigned in a signed
