William Franklin Clemons was a popular minister in the
Estill and Clark County regions of Kentucky. He was also a
pharmacist and kept a daily journal in a small red book, marked
"Physician's Daily Memorandum 1900." I believe that his family
lived for some time in the Millers Creek region of Estill County.
However, he also lived in Clark County and had relatives in Powell
County. William F. Clemons' parents were Leroy Clemons and Eliza
J. Kerr. I've been trying to piece together more information on
both of his parents, but that has not been easy. Eliza Kerr Clemons is
buried at the Log Lick Church Cemetery in Clark County, along with some
other Clemons family members. However, William F. Clemons first
two wives (of three) are buried at Mt. Tabor Cemetery in Estill
County. William F. Clemons married his third wife, Nettie Craig
McGuire on September 16, 1901 and moved to Nicholasville, Jessamine
County for about a year, after which he moved his family to
Bartlesville, Indian Territory (later Oklahoma). On July 17,
1904, William Clemons tragically fell from his buggy when traveling
with a friend and his family to a Sunday School which he was
establishing in
Wann, Indian Territory and was killed. He was one of the first
ministers at the First Christian Church in Bartlesville. The
Bartlesville newspaper lists survivors as Nettie Craig (McGuire)
Clemons, his wife; Leon Clemons, his eldest son (by an earlier marriage
to Betty Fluty); Homer Clemons (by his earlier marriage to Betty
Fluty); and William Wheeler Clemons, his one year old son by Nettie
Craig (McGuire) Clemons. It also notes that he was survived by a
sister in Winchester, Kentucky, Mrs. J. Price Osborne, whom I know was
Fannie (Clemons) Osborne. There may have
been other half brothers and half sisters who survived him, but these
people were not noted in his obituary in 1904. William
Franklin Clemons and Nettie Craig McGuire Clemons are buried at the
White Rose Cemetery in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and his picture still
hangs in the First Christian Church in Bartlesville. His journal
entries below don't offer much about his thoughts and emotions like a
modern journal might offer. However, he shares quite a bit about
his daily activities, where he traveled, whom he met, where he slept
(he seemed to be moving around as a minister and pharmacist quite a
bit), and what the weather was like. There are numerous names
which will interest other Kentucky researchers, and I will do my best
to offer correct spellings. I cannot read all of his writing, and
as things, or his writing, become clarified, I'll try to repost this
data so that it is increasingly correct. If you have any
comments, questions, or leads which may be useful to me on knowing more
about the people in this journal, please contact me. I am very
interested in learning the connections between some of the relatives
noted in this journal and my Clemons line. He notes some people
as cousin and uncle or aunt, but I don't know the linkages. I
think it would also be terrific just to know more about the people with
whom he spent time. William Franklin Clemons was my great
grandfather. He died when my grandfather was just one year
old. My grandfather died when my father was just six years old,
so this newly discovered journal goes a long way in filling in massive
gaps in my awareness about my own family's background. I hope that you
enjoy this information and find it useful in your own research.
By the way, I will note editorial comments of my own about various
journal entries with an asterisk (*). An index follows at the end
of the journal.

Tuesday, January 2
Went to Town in wagon Took Storm and Leon to town.*
*Leon is Leon Clemons, the eldest son of William Franklin Clemons and
Betty Jackson Fluty (b. February 19, 1861 d. February
14,1896).
I do not know what the reference to Storm is.
Wednesday, January 3

This reference is difficult to read, and I am sure that I am
not spelling this person or activity correctly.

Monday, January 8
Stayed in Store Boxed household to move to Clark* *
I believe that W.F. Clemons is moving from Estill County to Clark
County
in this reference. His second wife, Mattie Clay Reed (b. June 25,
1860 d. August 17, 1899) had died just four and a half months
before and I believe that they had lived together at the Reed Homestead
in Millers Creek. This Homestead was referred to in Mattie
Reed's obituary which I have posted previously and which was sent to me
by Wavelyn Ginter. I think that Homer and Leon Clemons,
both still young boys, were living with Mattie's mother whom he refers
to later in the journal as "Ma." His own mother, Eliza J.
(Kerr) Clemons (b. June 14, 1834 d. December 16, 1897) was no
longer alive.
Eliza Clemons is buried at Log Lick Church Cemetery in Clark
County, Kentucky =96 and her gravestone notes that she was the mother
of Elder W.F. Clemons. There is no sign of her husband and
W.F. Clemons' father, Leroy Clemons, at this cemetery. Many of
the early references in his journal are to just staying in a store
which he owned.
He sold this store to T. H. West on February 20, 1900.

*Tabor refers to Mt. Tabor Church in Millers Creek, Estill County,
Kentucky.
This church was one of two with which William F. Clemons was
closely affiliated as a preacher and elder at this time. The other
was Log Lick Church in Clark County. He preached at both of them
frequently.
**A.C.E. refers to A.C. Estes

*This sounds as if he has made a fire in his store to "sun
eggs."
I don't know if I am misreading the word "sun" or not. It might be some
kind of expression which I don't understand.

Thursday, February 1
Stayed in Store till 10 O'Clock. Walked to Irvine.
Deposited $140.00 with W.T.B. Williams. Then took train for
Richmond. Bro Shepherd took me to Kirksville.
* Stayed over night at Mrs. Dave Willis'.
*Both Richmond and Kirksville are in Madison County, Kentucky.
Friday, February 2
Came from Kirksville. Bro Shepherd Brought Me to Richmond Took
train. Bro Lowry came with me. Walked from Irvine Cool
Saturday, February 3
Stayed in store some. Auctioned Sale for H.E. Neal (sent check to
J.M.R.N&O $399.22
* Went to church. Bro Lowry preached Sub. Prayer and Duty. Went to A.C.
Estes with Bro Lowry all
night
*I do not know who H.E. Neal was, but Mattie Clay Reed's first husband
was Benjamin C. Neal (b. November 16, 1856 d. April 01, 1894).
This auction may have been related to the sale of assets, or a home
that may have belonged to the Neal family. Even though Mattie (Reed)
(Neal) Clemons had married William F. Clemons, it is obvious from the
journal that William F. Clemons was on very good terms with the Neal
family.
Sunday, February 4
Came from A.C. Estes'. Raining Rained all day! Stayed at home.
Bro. Lowry, Bro Mc and John McIntosh, Chilton, Retha & I stayed No
Meeting. Turned Cold.
Bro Lowry stayed all night.
* *The reference to various brothers must mean that these people were
active in the same Christian Church in which William F. Clemons was
active. I am not sure, but I believe that "Bro Mc" may reference
one of the McGuires with whom I know that William F. Clemons had
acquaintance. I think that the Chilton referred to is Chilton
Neal. Neal was probably related to Mattie Reed's first husband or
may have even been the son of Mattie Reed and Benjamin
Neal. Later in the Journal, William F. Clemons refers to
executing a bond as Guardian for Chilton Reed. Clemons stayed
at Chilton Neal's home many times.
The "Retha" who is referenced is Retha Estes. She married Chilton Neal
on June 22,
1899.
Monday, February 5
Bro Lowry went Home Stayed in Store. Received present of Pr. Sox
from Mrs. M.A. Neal Made up Pain
Paint
*
*Mrs. M.A. Neal must have been a relative of Mattie Reed's
first husband, Benjamin Neal. In recording the words "pain paint," I
may be misreading this but I don't know what other options there would
be.

* I have no idea what he is referring to in this section and although I
can read the letters in his words, I have no idea what he is
trying to say.
He is abbreviating something with the names and has created little
numbers above each of the letters A., M., and N. and drawn a
semi-circle from N =96 marked with the number 3, to A =96 marked with a

to Jas. Crawford's.
Came back to Store. Stayed with Chilton all night. Snowed.
*Mattie Clay (Reed) Clemons' mother was Elizabeth (Sales) Reed, and

Winchester Hotel Cold, snowed.
*This refers to Richmond, Kentucky.
Saturday, March 3
Went from Winchester to Pine Grove. Went to P.W. and B.F.
cut calves moderated thawed snow went off. Stayed at Phillip.
* *I do not know who P.W, and B.F. might be at this point. I
believe that Phillip is Phillip Webber, a witness at his first
wedding to Betty Jackson Fluty, and possibly a relative. Pine
Groveis located where Todd's Road, Colby Road and Combs Ferry Road
intersect near the Clark/Fayette County line.
All that is there is a grocery store and post office now.
Sunday, March 4
Stayed at Phillip's. Cleared & clouded & cleared. cool
Monday, March 5
Came from Phillip's to Winchester. on train obtained livery
and came to Price's.
* Warm Cloudy rained some.
*I do not know for sure who Price is, but I strongly believe that his
many references to Price are to his brother-in-law, J. Price
Osborne.
As mentioned previously, J. Price Osborne was married to Fannie
Clemons, William F. Clemons' sister. I believe that after William
F. Clemons' second wife, Mattie Reed Clemons, died, he sold his
store and moved his children and household from Estill County to
Clark County.
I believe that Price and Fannie Osborne's home became his home
base for a while and that Fannie played the role of
surrogate mother to Homer and Leon Clemons, his two sons, until he
remarried in 1901.

I believe that this James Clemons is William F. Clemons' eldest
half-brother. Later in the journal, William F. Clemons travels
with his boys to visit the Clemons family members in Grant
County.
**William F. Clemons' mother's maiden name was Kerr, and this W.F. Kerr

Church Cemetery. The monument when completed read: Mattie G.
Clemons, wife of Elder W. F. 6-25-1860--8-17-1899 Inscription:

At Prices. Jas. & I went to Post Office. Fannie & I went
to Log Lick to decorate
Some clouds. Jas & I walked out to Dunaways.*
*This is an interesting reference because this is the first mention of
Fannie, his sister - and it is written as if she were in the
immediate vicinity. Originally, I thought that the "Price" that is
constantly referred to may have been Pryse
McGuire, even though his name was
spelled differently. However, I am inclined to think that when William
F. Clemons sold his store in Estill County and moved to Clark
County, he basically resided much of the time with his sister,
Fannie (Clemons) Osborne and his brother-in-law, J. Price Osborne.
"Price"
must be J. Price Osborne - even though in several places in his
journal, usually on travel elsewhere, he writes letters and refers
to Price not as he usually does but as J.P. Osborne. I think that
this may be part of his particular ethic in maintaining records of
correspondence in his journal. The Jas. mentioned here is James
Clemons, his elder half-brother, who also appears to be staying at
J. Price Osborne's home, or better known as Price's."
