From the Alton Democrat of August 3, 1895
Hudson SD news.
Died - In Chicago, July 26, of Bright's disease, P. H. B. Clement, aged 48 years 3 months and 8 days. The deceased was an old settler in Lincoln county, coming here in 1869 from Vermont, and never residing outside of the county since. For the last twelve years he has been a partner in the merchantile firm of Bradley & Clement, and by his assiduous attention to business, by his sterling honesty and integrity, and by his accomodating and cheerful ways he won the respect and confidence of all who knew him. He had a stock of humor all his own, always having a kind word for everyone. Three weeks before his death he left for Chicago, and placed himself under the care of a specialist, but the disease had been of too long standing, and paralysis set in, first of the limbs and at last touching the heart; thus taking from his loved ones a good husband and a kind father. The funeral services were held at the Congregational church where the Rev. Evans, Cowin and Norton spoke words of consolation, and from there the remains were followed to their last resting place by the K. of P. Lodges of Hudson, Canton, Hawarden, Sioux Center, and alcester, Mrs. Clement being a member of that order. The deseased leaves a wife and two children, and a sister, Mr. Ball of Yankton, to mourn his lass. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the mourning relatives in this their hour of darkest trial.
