CLEMENT, GUY C.--Section 36, P.O. Deep River. His ancestors, remotely, were French, and probably settled in New Hampshire in an early day. His father was born in New Hampshire in 1798; was a merchant, and married Charlotte Clark, who was born February 29, 1794, in New Hampshire. Guy, the youngest among twelve children was born September 19, 1840, in Missisquoi, Quebec, Canada, where he was raised on a farm and educated. He clerked in his father's store when a boy, and continued in the same establishment after it had been sold. He immigrated to his present place in July, 1868. He married in Dunham, Canada, December 31, 1862, to Emma Woodard; her ancestors were early settlers in Massachusetts. Her father (Orlin) was born February 29, 1804, in Dunham, and her mother in Grafton, Massachusetts, August 22, 1809. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Clement are: Levi W. (born February 9, 1864) and Jay Clark (born October 31, 1865). Mr. Clement owns 103 acres of land, including twenty acres of good timber in Deep River township. His farm is in fine condition, well stocked and free from debt.
