Clement Bellande (1850-1918), beloved husband of Lucie E. Vinot, age 67 years, died Saturday, May 19, 1918, at his home, 823 Royal Street at New Orleans.

Clem Bellande married twice, first to Lydia Miller (1844-1902). They had a ward living with them in the 1900 Federal Census, eleven-year old Olpha M. Jackson. The Daily Herald of July 20, 1916 reported the marriage of Offie Mae Bellande, the daughter of Captain and Mrs. Bellande, a well-known family of Ocean Springs, and Edgar Martin, an efficient employee of the L.N. Dantzler Lumber Company being now stationed at Indianola, Mississippi.

In 1885, Joseph H. Bellande sold his son, Clement Bellande, some land on Porter Street. Much later, when widower Clement Bellande married a second time, to Lucie Emilie Vinot (1872-1949) of New Orleans on October 29, 1903, they maintained residences at 823 Royal Street, and at 42 Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs. It is believed that Clement Bellande spent most of his time at New Orleans where he drove a grocery wagon in the Crescent City.
Mr. Bellande had no children from either marriage.

Clement Bellande made his livelihood at Ocean Springs as a bartender. He worked for George E. Arndt (1857-1945) as his bartender of the Paragon Saloon on Washington Avenue near the L&N Depot. Arndt's saloon also had a billiard room, and drugstore. In March 1896, G.E. Arndt took Clem Bellande and spouse to New Orleans in order for him to be attended to by a physician.(The Pascagoula Democrat-Star, March 27, 1896, p. 3)

Mr. Bellande's obituary stated: “Although he handled great quantities of liquor he did not touch it himself and like Mr. Arndt, his employer, followed out closely the intent and purpose of the liquor laws in the conduct of the Paragon bar. Honest and upright in dealing with his fellowmen his death is regretted by all.(The Jackson County Times, May 25, 1918, p. 5)

Clem Bellande was an excellent sailor and well known in racing circles along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. At the 1901 Biloxi Regatta, he won the Third Class Fleet (16-19 foot boats) in his catboat, the Davis Brothers. Bellande defeated the regional famous Royal Flush owned by Orey Young of Ocean Springs.

Orey Young once said: "The Royal Flush, if loaded with the prize money she has won, would certainly sink". The defeat of the Royal Flush by Bellande precipitated a match race on a triangular course set in Biloxi Bay off Ocean Springs. The merchants of Ocean Springs offered a cash prize of $700, and the afternoon of the race was declared a general holiday in that town. The Royal Flush won by two minutes and one second over the Davis Brothers and Josephine. According to Walter F. Fountain, another match race resulted in which the Davis Brothers beat the Royal Flush by 12 seconds.
.
Clement Bellande died May 19, 1918, at New Orleans and his corporal remains interred in the Bellande Cemetery at Ocean Springs. His wife remained in New Orleans and died there on January 15, 1949. She received a settlement from the 1926 land settlement. Her internment was in St. Louis No. 3 Cemetery.
