Hello: Just saw your 2010 Clem family request in Sept 2011. I do not have the Clem Family History book you mentioned, but my GGGgrand mother was Lousia Ellen Clem SMITH who wed
Robert Smith 1852 to 1873 in Johnson Co. IND. They had 5 children, but only one, Isaac Franklin (1853 IND - 1936 IND)
lIVED to adulthood (3 died stillborn and a 4th Sarah Ellen died at age 4 (1859). They all lived in same area of Whiteland/Franklin in Johnson Co. IND. Louisa was one of 9 children of Isaac Clem (1794 KY to 1880 Miami Co IND) and NNancy Elizabeth Shepherd (1791 NC - 1847 IND). Louisa was born 5th of the 9 children (others were: Jemima; William; David; Willis; LOUISA ELLEN; Nancy Jane; Sarah; Francis M; and Mircella. My GGG grand mother did keep a diary for many years in the 1870s and I have a copy of the 1877 one. There may be others but this is the only one I have. LOUISA died but is not buried next to her husband Robert Smith (1808 VA - 1872 IND) in Pleasant Grove Cemetery but rather Louisa died Sept 21, 1903 in Whiteland IND and is buried in her Clem family plot in Hopewell Cemetery - which is near Pleasant Grove Cem. I have a copy of her photo, her 1852 marriage record and her tombstone in my collection. Please email me at LAUPME@AOL.COM and I will send you what I have.
