Clements David Adair or Clem as everyone called him was born in Pinetop on December 8, 1899. He was married on December 24, 1917, in Lakeside, Arizona to Violet Helen Packer, daughter of Nephi Taylor Packer and Mazetta Penrod. They had eleven children: Edgar Clements, Kenneth Adrian, Goldie Marie, Virginia Evelyn, John Taylor, Mavis June, Millie Louise, Guy William, Wanda Irene, Marjorie Velda, and Shirley Loree.
Clem cut logs for a living. It must have been difficult labor because he used a crosscut saw. He had epilepsy and would sometimes have several seizures in one day. He took Phenobarbital to control it. Clem liked to wrestle and even required his future son-in-law, Louis Daniel, to wrestle him in order to marry his daughter, Virginia. He was also fascinated with electrical storms and enjoyed watching the lightning from his front porch.
Clem died on August 2, 1951, in Phoenix, Arizona, and was buried in Pinetop, Arizona.
