Surnames: Clement Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EgB.2ACI/2509.1.1.3.1.1 Message Board Post: I am trying to trace my family, who I understand were from Union/Boiling Springs/Spartanburg. Here's what I know. My father: Lynde DeLos Clement, 03/19/1913-08/15/1979 (changed spelling of middle name to upper-case L since he did some entertaining) married to Sara Lorene Shirley. One sister, Lora Clement McFarland, Died in Avon Park, Fla. My Grandfather: Delos Eugene Clement, 10/27/1883-01/05/1963, married Annie Bell Davis. Sisters: Clara, Ida, and Lora (Maybe another that married a McKeachin-not sure of the spelling). Lora Clement was never married and was a Baptist missionary in Singapore, China (search for "Lora Clement" on the AltaVista search engine and you will see much about her from Grace Baptist Church in Singapore). She died in the Baptist retirement home in Florence, SC. I have also heard that he had 2 brothers that "went out west" but I never knew any names. I never met my grandfather, since I understand that he was committed to the State Hospital in Columbia, SC before I was born and he died there. My father, grandfather, and grandmother are all buried in the ARP Church cemetery in Due West, SC. There is some connection to Eagle Wholesale in Spartanburg (one of the sisters). Can anyone help?
