Alvin Clemmons, drayman and veterinary surgeon of Barron, was born in Canada
and came to Barron County in 1878. Here he took up a homestead of 40 acres in
Prairie Farm Township. He cleared 25 acres and erected a good set of
buildings. These were burned but by hard work he soon replaced them and
continued his operations. In 1887 he went to Dunn County. A year later he 
came to Barron and engaged in the dray business, later becoming a veterinary 
surgeon.  He died Dec. 6, 1909. Mr. Clemmons was a well known man throughout 
this part of the county and was one of the charter members of the Modern 
Woodmen at Barron. He married Sarah Haynes, a native of Canada, who was 
killed in a railroad crossing accident in Barron, May 11, 1913. Mr. and Mrs. 
Clemmons are the parents of eight children: Daniel G., Amos, Christina, 
Commodore, Alma, Emma, Ruby and Claude (deceased).
