Mrs. Alice (Gardner) Clemson
 
  On Sunday morning at 10.30 o'clock, Mrs. Alice (Gardner) Clemson, 
wife of Daniel M. Clemson, of Pittsburgh and sister of Miss Annie M. 
Mattern and Mrs. J. M. Goheen, of Tyrone; died suddenly at her home, 
Highmont, at 6200 Fifth Avenue.  Mrs. Clemson had been ill for over a 
week, and although her condition was not at first considered critical 
Mr. and Mrs. Goheen had gone to Pittsburgh on Friday.  Alice (Gardner) 
was born on April 28, 1854, near Rock Springs, Centre County, Pa., the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Gardner and was educated at the 
Birmingham Seminary.  On February 20, 1879, she was married to Daniel 
M. Clemson, going immediately to Pittsburgh, where she remained a 
resident until her death.  She leaves to survive, her husband, two 
sons, John G. Clemson of Portland, Oregon and Ralph M. Clemson, of 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and three sisters, Mrs. R. Y. Kincaid, of 
Springfield, Illinois; Mrs. Annie M. Mattern and Mrs. J. M. Goheen, of 
Tyrone, Pa.  Mrs. Clemson was actively interested in many Pittsburgh 
charities.  She was a member of the Board of Managers of the 
Homeopathic Hospital and a member of the governing body of the Home For 
Aged Couples in Swissvale.  She was a member of the twentieth Century 
Club, the Soho Baths Settlement Association, the Civic Club of 
Allegheny County and other organizations.  Since going to Pittsburgh, 
Mrs. Clemson was affiliated with the Third Presbyterian Church and 
contributed generously to the home and foreign missionary work, in both 
of which she was keenly interested.  The funeral will be conducted by 
the Reverend William L. McEwan, pastor of the Third Church, from the 
family home Thursday afternoon.
