• Notes

  William Clemens, "was born February 28th, 1861. He resides on part of the old 'Bowman Farm' at Blair where he is engaged in farming. He is married to Amelia Hagey. They have had three children". Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. __________ DEATH OF WILLIAM HENRY CLEMENS. At his residence on Oak street, Galt, on Sunday, Mr. Walter H. Clemens, son of the late Mr. Oliver Clemens, passed away in his forty-eighth year. Mr. Clemens had been a sufferer for a long time, a victim of consumption, but an attack of hemorrhage absorbed all the strength that had been left by the insidious disease. He was born in the county of Waterloo and had spent all his life on his farm at Blair. Last spring he retired from business and lived in Preston, and it was only revently he went to Galt to reside. Deceased had been twice married, and now leaves a widow and five children by his first wife and one by its second. A brother and sister also are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. Joseph Stauffer, of Galt, and Dr. G. H. Clemens, of Toronto. The remains of the deceased gentleman were laid to rest in Blair cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the first part of the burial service being held Blair church. The Weekly News-Record Thu, Aug 13, 1908 Page 1 ___________________ The funeral of the late William H. Clemens of Galt was held here on Monday afternoon and was largely attended. Mr. Clemens was a resident of Ayr for many years, and last March sold his farm here and moved to Preston. He then bought a home in Galt and had only been living there a few days prior to his demise. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family. The Weekly News-Record Thu, Aug 13, 1908 Page 3
