It was with both a sad and happy heart that I looked for the last time (in this world) upon the face of, and helped bear to its last resting place the body of Fred H. Clement. Sad, because of the loss to his people, and to the general public, glad because of his gain. A Friend? Yes, Fred and I became friends about eight years ago. The faithful and effective work he did during the twelve months he was First Vice President of the Epworth League and the times when we so often sat together in Church, are long to be remembered if long I may be permitted to live. I have never been associated with a boy I thought more of than Fred. I have been with him in church work and at daily labor and always found him ready to do his duty and often more. It has doubtlessly been said near a thousand times “It’s too bad, Fred was such a good boy.” It does seem too bad that he was called away from the life work he had planned and from his family and friends. His place can never be filled as he would have filled it. But oh, how much worse it would be had he been unprepared. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The fact that he lived a true Christian life is the bright side of the question, the Sunlight of Heaven, as it were, shining through the clouds of darkness. I think this death should be warning to us to ask ourselves if our lives are insured. We know neither the day nor the hour when our call will come, therefore we should be ready to answer. I understand Fred had taken out no insurance, but his life was an example we would all do well to follow, in fact I don’t think it is too much to say he was as good a boy as has ever trod our streets, and as a friend I would rather be able to say that for him than to say “He was rich in this world’s goods.” Yes for several years Fred had carried an insurance more valuable than much fine gold. Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. J. P. McDonald

Robert Frederick Clement was born at Perry’s Landing on the Brazos River, in Brazoria County, June 12th 1838 of Scotch and English parents. His early life was spent at Velasco, in his father’s store. On Dec. 1st 1859 he married Mary Minerva Wilcox who was six months his junior. Ten children were born to them, three of whom died quite young. The others are living to-day, Peter Wallace, William Henry, Margaret Alice, Edith Adele, Mary Christiana, Martha Hesley, and Rowena Sheldon. There were nine grand-sons, two of whom preceeded him to the farther shore. There are seven grand-daughters, and three great grandchildren. He was the eldest of a large family and the last to pass away. He served through the entire War Between the States in the heavy artillery at the mouth of the Brazos river where they were frequently bombarded by the enemy who never succeeded in making a landing. In 1871 he moved with his family to Indianola in Calhoun County, making the greater part of the trip through the Gulf of Mexico in an 18 foot open yawl boat. He engaged in the mercantile business for a short time, when he moved to Kellers Bay near where Olivia now stands, engaging in the sheep and cattle business. When his father returned from England in 1879, he bought what is known as the Red Bluff or Clement ranch, consisting of one and one half leagues of the Stephen F. Austin grant, for him stocking it with cattle and managing it for him until his death in 1892. By inheritance and purchase he acquired and owned at the time of his death about half of the land. He was a consistent Christian, joining the Presbyterian church in middle life, having been brought up in the Episcopal church. He served his Master as Elder in the Presbyterian church for 30 years. A great characteristic of his life was his strict observance of the Sabbath, absolutely refusing to do any work on that day that could be avoided, regardless of circumstances or remuneration. He abhorred anything that was in any way dishonest, untruthful, or unclean. He was a devoted husband, a kind and considerate father, a friend to be depended on in every instance. He died in Houston, March 23, after an operation and was buried in the Palacios cemetery by the side of his wife, who preceded him December 19, 1916. Six of his grandsons acted as pallbearers. Thus ended a long eventful and useful life. He saw Texas grow from an infant Republic to the greatest State in the Union. He often mentioned with pride that he was a native of the Republic of Texas.
