On the farm where he still lives, he was born March 27, 1859, and with the agricultural and political interests of the community his name is inseparably connected. His father, the late John Clemmer, was born in 1812, and at an early day removed from Montgomery county, Ohio, to Paulding county, where he made his home for several years. He next became a resident of Defiance county, making his home in Hicksville township until called to his final rest on June 10, 1882,. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Mary Woodcock, who died in Paulding county. In DeKalb county, Indiana, he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth (Allen) Shew, who was born in St. Lawrence county, New York, in 1818. By her second marriage she had but one child: Frank J., the subject of this sketch. After their marriage, his parents lived for a time on the Maumee river in Paulding county before coming to Defiance county. On the old homestead in Hicksville township, Frank J. Clemmer was reared to manhood, early becoming familiar with farming in its various departments, and acquiring a good practical education in the common schools of the neighborhood. He is now the owner of eighty-eight and one-half acres of good land, which he has placed under a high state of cultivation and improved with good and substantial buildings. In Hicksville, Defiance county, January 23, 1879, Mr. Clemmer was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. Elliott, who was born in Ashland county, Ohio, January 8, 1861, a daughter of the late Hugh Elliott, of Hicksville township, Defiance county. Four children bless this union, namely: Bertha, Fred E., John J. and Ila M. Since attaining his majority, Mr. Clemmer has been identified with the Democratic party, and has taken an active and prominent part in local political affairs. He has held the offices of assessor and constable of Hicksville township for two terms each. In the fall of 1884 he was elected county commissioner on the Democratic ticket, and so acceptably did he fill the office that in the fall of 1887 he was re-elected, serving in all six years. As a public-spirited and progressive citizen, he stands ready to discharge every duty devolving upon him, and his public service was most exemplary. from: "Commemorative Biographical Records of Northwestern Ohio including the counties of Defiance, Henry, Williams & Fulton."
