Obituary,
Gospel Herald, June 27, 1918, Pgs 231 - 232:
Clemens.-Bro. Jacob N. Clemens died at his home at Mainland, Pa., May 27, 1918, of gangrene. Aged 75 y. 3 m. 26 d. He suffered rather intensely at intervals for several weeks, but bore his burden very patiently. He was an earnest S. S. and Church worker, and in him the church loses a pillar in the faith. A few hours before his death he remarked to his companion that he was now going to sleep, "Going to sleep?" asked she, "Yes, in Jesus." He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; 8 children as follows: Mary, wife of Frank Bartholomew; Sylvanus; Jacob; Leahanna, wife of David Allebach; John; Lizzie, wife of Elias Kulp; Norman; and Edna, wife of Clayton Schlosser; besides grandchildren, and friends. Interment June 1 at Towamencin Mennonite Church, Brethren Rheinard Alderfer and Warren Moyer officiating at house and Jacob Moyer and Isaac Kulp at the church. Text Isa. 3:10.
