"Abraham Clem was born in Butler County, Ohio, May 29, 1826, and is one of the four children of Henry and Martha (Carmichael) Clem, the names of the children being Abraham, Elsie, Harriet and Israel D. Henry Clem was born near Lexington, Kentucky, about 1790; was a lifetime farmer, and died in Warren County, Indiana in 1855.

Abraham came to this county with his parents in 1829, since which he has lived within the boundaries of what is now Kent Township, and since 1853 in his present location.

Mr. Clem was married November 21, 1848, to Margaret Ann Taylor, which union was blessed with eight children, five boys and three girls.

Mr. Clem's residence is three miles east of State Line City, on a superior farm of over 300 acres (sixty of which lies three miles southeast), only seventy-five of which are not under good cultivation, with natural drainage, and well adapted to raising wheat, corn, oats and hay.

In 1882, he commenced and finished a handsome and commodious frame residence, an ornament to the city. MR. Clem is a Mason and a member of the Methodist Church, also an esteemed citizen." - Counties of Warren, Benton, Jasper and Newton, Indiana, 1883, page 177
