The Blount County News and Dispatch, 3 Jul 1890 Random Pen-Scratches From Clarence, Alabama. Clarence is an unpretentious hamlet situated on a plateau of Sand Mountain, 13 miles north of Oneonta. Uncle Sam has just established a post office here, and from it the village takes its name. Really there are three post offices here-Wynnville is two miles east, Huldah, three miles west, and Clarence "right in town." Uncle Sam is a "clever old soul" any way. Long may he live to bear aloft the glorious old Star-spangled Banner, and minister to the requirements of the people of these United States. Mr. David Hood is the merchant prince of the village, and his also assistant postmaster. The wants of suffering humanity are ministered to by the medical firm of Moore and Hendricks, two worth disciples of Esculapius. Dr. Jas. Moore is a "veteran tooth-snatcher," and does much dental work in which he is skilled. Prof. Sivley is the village schoolmaster, and is a favorite with the parents and pupils. Dr. Joseph F. Hendricks has built a large and attractive residence, and Mr. Hood is erecting a very handsome cottage near his store. Note: The Clarence Community is better known these days as Susan Moore.
