_____________
D W. CLEMENS
This gentleman is frequently called the "leader of the village." The term is indeed very applicable in this case for he is mainly responsible for the business life of the village, and pays out many dollars annually for labor. He is thoroughly enterprising, and would be a prominent figure in a large town. He has been operating his saw- mill here about twelve years. In an ordinary season he has turned out from a half to a million feet of lumber in a year. He does a large amount of custom sawing for the farmers throughout a wide section, and also deals extensively in shingles. He employs on an average, from ten to twelve men, and has one of the best equipped saw mills in the country. Mr. Clemens was born here in 1857, and a more popular citizen never lived in any community.
He has contrived several very convenient additions to his saw mill for convenience's sake. Among these is an apparatus for raising circular saws and setting them in position for filing. It may also be added that Mr. Clemens is a worthy member of the township council.
