From Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island,
Vol. III, J. H. Beers, Chicago, 1905
STEPHEN HENRY CLEMENCE, son of Richard Right and Mary, and the last surviving member of his father's family, was born in Glocester Jan. 13, 1834, and was reared to farm work. His education was received in the district school and at the Smithfield Seminary at North Scituate, then presided over by the noted Hosea Quimby. For a time he taught a select school in his native town, but resided on the homestead, engaged in farming, until 1864, a few years after his marriage, when he removed to Johnston and settled on his present farm, which he had purchased. It was long known as the Pardon Sweet place, having been in the Sweet name for several generations. This farm is located on Greenville avenue, about one mile west of Manton Village. Mr. Clemence has been engaged in farming and dairying since settling there, and has been very successful.
On Jan. 11, 1860, he was married in Smithfield to Elsie A. Paine, daughter of Mathewson and Fidelia (Darling) Paine, and a descendant, on both sides, of old Rhode Island families. Mr. and Mrs. Clemence had the following children: Mary A., born April 4, 1862; Ida M., Feb. 18, 1864; Stephen H., Jr., June 24, 1867 (of whom more follows); Richard R., March 24, 1870. The latter is assisting his father in the management of the farm, and is unmarried.
Stephen Henry Clemence is a Democrat in politics, although, like his father, he has never cared for office, but like all other good citizens of the locality, he is active in the support of measures which he considers will be of benefit to the community in which he resides. For many years he has been a director of the National Exchange Bank at Greenville. He attends the Broadway Baptist church at Olneyville of which church his wife and daughters are consistent and valued members. Mr. Clemence has always been a hard-working, industrious man, known for splendid business judgment and high integrity, and he ranks among the most substantial, successful and influential citizens of the town. He is universally esteemed and respected.
