      DEATH OF MR. I. CLEMENS

      Well-known Waterloo County Farmer Passes Away at Galt General Hospital.

      Guelph Herald. The emblem of mourning on the big doors of Clemens' planing mills to-day announced a death among the Clemens brothers. At the Galt General Hospital at ten o'clock Thursday night there passed away one of the best known and most highly respected farmers of Waterloo County in the person Mr. Isaiah Clemens, brother of Mr. J. A. Clemens, of this city and son of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Clemens, of Fisher's Mills near Hespeler.

      The deceased was taken ill last Saturday and underwent an operation for appendicitis, but the disease was too far advanced for medical skill to cope with it. The end came last night, just one day after his 45th birthday.

      Mr. Isaiah Clemens was born on the Clemens homestead, at Fisher's Mills, near Hespeler, and the adjoining farm on the one on which he has since resided, in the year 1862, and for many years past has, together with his three brothers, been engaged in farming in that section. Their homes are all near the old homestead, and close by resides their aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Clemens. The three brothers referred to are Abraham S., Nathaniel and Aaron, and besides these are three other brothers:, Mr. H. A. Clemens, proprietor of the electric planing mills, Guelph, Levi, of Detroit; and Mr. E. of Powassan. There are also four sisters - Mrs. J. H. Ellis, Clifñord; Mrs. I. W. Eaton, Hespeler; Mrs. (Rev.) Jas. Austen, of Gladys, who had to be summoned home from honey-moon trip to the funeral.

      Of his own family, Mr. Clemens, leaves a widow and eight children, most of them of tender yeart.[sic]

      Deceased was a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and was highly respected by a host of of quaintances, all of whom will join with the sorrowing members of the fatnily in mourning the untimely demise of one dearly beloved by relatives and friends.

      The funeral took place to-day at 3 o'clock.
