A. Q. Clements, an old resident of Bell County, died at his home in Kerrville on the 7th of June 1919. Mr. Clements or Uncle Adam, as he was called, was born and raised in Bell County [sic] and always resided here until 1913. He moved to Kerrville for his health. He was 91 years old [sic] at the time of his death, served in the Confederate Army under Dick Dowling and was badly wounded in the Battle of Jenkins Ferry, which left him a cripple for life. Uncle Adam always wished to be buried in Bell County. The body was brought to Killeen and interred at Sugar Loaf Cemetery June 10 at 10 o'clock. He was a man of honor and his word was as good as a United States bond. He lived to meet with God, instead of accumulating wealth. He leaves a wife and two daughters, Miss Alecia Clements of Kerrville and Mrs. Bob DuBose of Tennessee Valley, besides many other relatives all residing in Bell County. The sorrowing relatives have our sympathy.
One precious to our hearts has gone/The voice we loved is stilled ./The place made vacant in our home/Can never more be filled./Our Father in his wisdom called/The boon his love had given/And, though on earth the body lies.The soul is safe in Heaven./A Friend.
