---------------------------------
She was the daughter of John Robbins, for whom Robbinsville, in Red River county, was named. He was one of the earliest pioneers of Texas, and fought Indians and Mexicans.

Mrs. Clement was born at Jonesboro, Red River county, nearly eighty years ago, and lived under three governments in Texas--that of Mexico, the Republic of Texas and later of the United States. She was reared at Robbinsville and educated at Mrs. Weatherby's school. She was a woman of much culture, refinement and aristocratic bearing--never losing her elegance of manner even in old age. Her step was sprightly and her carriage erect and graceful to the day of her death.

She was married at Robbinsville in 1846 to Dr. S. E. Clement, than whom there was never a more elegant, intelligent and upright gentleman of the old school--courteous to all and considerate of others. Together they accumulated a handsome fortune and reared a large family.

Dr. and Mrs. Clement were members of the First Presbyterian church, and were constant in attendance upon its ordinances, he being an elder from its organization till the time of his death. They gave liberally of their abundance to aid their church and never turned a deaf ear to appeals for charity. They never believed in letting their left hand know what their right did in a quiet, unostentatious, helpful way that would do the most good.

Mrs. Clement knew much of happiness and pleasure during her younger days, but the loss of a beautiful and idolized daughter about twenty years ago cast a gloom over her life that nothing could alleviate or eradicate.

Seven years ago, the day of her husband's death, she was called to pass behind the veil of widowhood, since then her days have been days of sorrow, for nothing can fill the aching void caused by the loss of generous, thoughtful, kind and protecting husband.
