• Notes

  Joseph U. Clemens, "was born February 14th, 1850. For a number of years he was engaged in the mercantile business in New Dundee with great success. About two years ago he disposed of his business in New Dundee and bought the old and well established business of Kranz & Son, situated on King Street, Berlin, where he is now having an extensive trade. He is married to Fannie Simpson and has a family of four 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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 J.U. Clemens - The news was received here with deep regret that Mr. J. U. Clemens had pasted away early yesterday morning at his home, 15 Margaret Ave., Kitchener. Mr. Clemens had been in poor health for some time, but was able to continue his business here up to a week ago Saturday. Leaving here he took to his bed and although seriously ill hopes were at first entertained for his recovery. Dropsy and heart failure were the immediate cause of his death, but a severe attack of influenza and pneumonia two years ago had greatly undermined his health. The late Mr. Clemens was born near Blair in February 1850 and was in his 71st year. He conducted a general store business in New Dundee for about ten or twelve years, after which he removed to Kitchener where he bought out C. Kranz & Co. About sixteen years ago he opened a general store in New Hamburg which he conducted successfully up to time of his death. Deceased was a valued member of Trinity Methodist Church, Kitchener, and in politics a staunch Liberal. He was well and favorably known throughout this district and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. The late Mr. Clemens was married to Miss Fannie Simpson, who survives him besides three sons and one daughter. The children are: Harry, of Montreal, Charles of Toronto, Reginald, of Detroit, and Miss Millicent at home. Wendell and Harry Clemens, of Kitchener, and John Clemens, of Galt, are brothers. The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence to Mount Hope Cemetery New Hamburg Independent, November 26, 1920 __________________ Clemens - At Kitchener, Thursday, November 25th.
