   SIMEON CLEM, farmer, is a native of Shenandoah County, Va., and was born
December 17, 1820. He is the son of John and Juliana (Moyers) Clem, natives of
Virginia, and of German descent. John Clem was a farmer, who spent his life in
Shenandoah County. A few months before his death, he removed to Page County,
Va., and there died in 1828. He was a highly esteemed citizen, and was a soldier
in the war of 1812. Our subject remained upon the home farm until he was
twenty-one, when he began farming and operating a flouring mill. After this he
worked at job work three years; then went to Ohio, and afterward farmed in
Rockingham County, Va., on rented land. In 1856, he located in Madison County,
Ind., where he remained until 1864. He then located in Henry County, and, in the
spring of 1866, removed to this county and located on forty acres purchased the
previous year. Mr. Clem was married, February 9, 1847, to Miss Margaret Wetzel,
of Shenandoah County, Va. She was born March 2, 1821. This union has been
blessed with six children, three of whom are living-John, born December 14,
1847; George, born June 8, 1849; Lydia F., born August 29, 1860, wife of W. L.
Moore. He is a Republican in politics, and cast his first vote for President
