On April 2 1876, she was married to Moses Clemens who predeceased her about 6 years ago. Five sons and one daughter were born to them, who are left to mourn the loss of a loving Christian mother. Sister Clemens became a memeber of the Mennonite Church about 45 years ago and remained faithful and loyal until the Lord took her home. She had been a sufferer of diabetes for some time and later gangrene set in also, which caused her death. The funeral was held Aug 9 at the First Mennonite Church,Kitchener,in charge of the Brethren Jonas Snider and Oscar Burkholder. Burial in the adjoining cemetery.
