George Clement Laid to Rest on Monday.
Funeral services for the late George Clement, who passed away last Friday evening, were held on Monday afternoon in Ladner United Church, with Rev. W. Vance officiating.
Pallbearers were Messrs. Alex Montgomery, William Montgomery, C. E. Cooper, Robert Stokes, J. W. Atkey, and C. O. Lambert. Interment was in the family plot in Ocean View Cemetery, Vancouver.
Mr. Clement, who was in his 86th year, died on Friday after a lengthy illness. Besides his wife, he is survived by one son Dr. G. H. Clement of Vancouver, and two grandchildren. A daughter died about 15 years ago.
Mr. Clement was born in Woodstock, Ontario, where his family lived a few years before moving to Sarnia. In later years he went to North Dakota and from there to the Okanagan. In 1906 he came to New Westminster where he established a hardware business with Mr. C. O. Lambert. In 1909 the partners set up the store of Clement and Lambert in Ladner in which Mr. Clement was active until 1933 when he retired, though he still retained his interest in the business.
He was a charter member of the Delta Board of Trade, and for some years was president of the local branch of the Retail Merchants Association. He was a great supporter of local sports and contributed financially to many sport activities. He was a member of the Ladner Methodist Church and later joined the United Church after the union.
Mr. Clement was widely known in the hardware business right across Canada having lived in many of the larger cities from coast to coast. During his younger days he was greatly interested in politics and was a personal friend of some of the Fathers of Confederation. He also was very active in the Odd Fellows order and took part in organizing a number of lodges in Ontario. He was a great student of early Canadian and American history and was considered somewhat of an authority on these subjects.
He was greatly respected in this district and the sympathy of the community will be extended to his widow and son.
