AARON S. CLEMENT, farmer, sec. 26, Wheatland Tp., was born in Cayuga Co., 
N.Y., Dec. 6, 1817.  His 

parents, John D. and Betsey E. (Dilch) Clement, were natives respectively of 
New York and New Jersey, and 

died when Aaron was but 14 years old.  Thrown thus early upon his own 
resources, his opportunities for 

education were limited, his energies being directed chiefly to the labor which 
earned for him the 

necessaries of his existence.  He was industrious and of good habits, and 
readily found work in the 

section where he was born until he had entered man's estate.  In the autumn of 
1839 he came to St. Joseph 

Co., Mich., where he entered upon the career of a farmer.  He was married July 
25, 1841, to Sarah C., 

daughter of Isaac and Persis (Wayne) Watkins, natives of Massachusetts, and 
soon after their ,arriage went 

to Maples, Ontario Co., N.Y., where the daughter was born Dec. 3, 1820.  Mr. 
Clement rented a farm in St. 

Joseph County for a period of 25 years, and in the fall of 1866 removed his 
family to Wheatland Tp., 

Mecosta Co.  They located on 160 acres of land, one-half of which has been 
placed under good tillage.

Mr. Clement is a Republican, but not an aspirant for official notoriety, 
having always persistently 

declined election to any position.  He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.  
Children:  Eliza Jane, orn 

Nov. 2, 1842, died April 11, 1843; Mary J., April 20, 1844; Amine P., July 29, 
1846; Vivalda M., Dec. 28, 

1848; Sarah E., Jan.5, 1852; Lyda R., July 8, 1862.
