He was a member of the Masonic lodge of Vienna and of the Taberg village band, which was widely known throughout the Mohawk Valley. Since his illness, Superintendent Holmes has assigned Rev. A. S. Havens, Richland, to take charge of the three Methodist churches formerly served by Rev. Clement, until a regular appointment is made. Rev.
