Paul A. Clemmer
Paul A. Clemmer died peacefully Monday morning after a two-month bout with
cancer. He was born Aug. 9, 1923, to Elwood and Mary Clemmer in Norristown, Pa.
Paul grew up with his siblings: Robert (deceased), Greg (deceased), Cathy
Heijermans and Margaret Roberts. While stationed at Forbes Air Force Base he
met Melba Worswick and they were married Jan. 25, 1945. This union was blessed
with four daughters: Diana Carpenter, Oak Park, Ill., Dana Brennan and Deborah
Eberline, both of Topeka, and Mary Lowery, Silver Lake. Paul also is survived
by his grandchildren: Scott and Carrie Carpenter, Michael and Marcy Brennan,
and Amanda Stricker, Noel Benjamin, Timothy and Alexandra Eberline, and Angela
Schnee, Joshua and Sean Lowery. He also is survived by five
great-grandchildren. For many years Paul and Melba served he community as the
proprietors of Clemmers Furniture Store on Topeka Boulevard. He became a master
craftsman of furniture repair and continued to do so until the time of his
diagnosis. He also was an avid "boater" who thoroughly enjoyed building and
racing RC boats, winning regularly and bringing a national championship to the
Topeka Boat Club. Paul was a World War II veteran. At the age of 14 while
attending church in Norristown, Pa., Paul had a life-changing encounter with
Jesus Christ. It was his faith that directed him in all of his relationships
and work. Because of his life and testimony, others have come to faith. Many
also have benefited from Pauls teaching, counsel and leadership in churches
where he has served. A funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28, at
Penwell-Gabel Mid-Town Chapel. Mr. Clemmer will lie in state at the funeral
chapel after noon Wednesday, Aug. 27, where visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m.
The family requests that memorials be given to the Midland Hospice, 200 S.W.
Frazier, Topeka, 66606; or to Topeka Bible Church, Building Fund, 1101 S.W.
Mulvane, Topeka, 66604.

Missing is my daughter Catherine Clemmer Pickell, her husband Gary Carl
Pickell, their children Andrew, Bradley and Kristine. My sister's
family Markloff and Williams.
Why is Rev. Samuel an 2nd Grandfather ?
What is the meaning of the roman numeral after each name ?
Other than these it is magnificent.
We still need the full story of the Williamsons.

Hi!
What is your relationship to the Clemmers? There are about
a dozen gravesites in this cemetery. There are also Hoffmans
and Blankenships and Daviss. There are a few unmarked
graves.
I have not developed my film yet, as I have a few more
to take on this roll. I'll let you know when I finish the roll.

Yes, I do know, Nancy
On hwy 72 you will come to a left turn that has a sign that says, St. Pauls Lutheran ECA. Its not very far from Hwy 411. Perhaps a
couple of miles. You would take that highway. Just in apx 1/4 to 1/2 mi you will see the church. (BTW, I am told the church has
the original altar built about 1829) Behind the church is the new cemetery. The old one is just down the road that runs beside the
church (not in front of).
From the turn off that goes to Clemmer you would continue east for apx a mile then turn right onto 321 which leads down to St.
Pauls.
My Gaston grandparents were original founders of the church having been in Bat Creek as early as 1821. Two of their sons married
Clemmer descendents

Joyce,
Are you talking about a church or a cemetery? We saw
two cemeteries in the Rarity Bay subdivision, but I don't
know what the name of one was. The other was Smith.
If you are talking about the church, do you know where it is?

The C lemmers were actually french hugenot of german descent. There is a
good possibility that there was a french connection also, as they were from
the Rhine Valley. They french and the Germans have been haggling over this
area for hundreds of years. Felty Clemmer came to the states in the late
1700's as an indentured servant. We may be from two separate lines

Last weekend we were returning home from Gatlinburg, TN
and decided to go by the Clemmer Cemetery in Monroe Co.
where John Clemmer and Hannah Hoffman Clemmer are
buried, along with about a dozen other Clemmers. The
cemetery is being maintained very well and I took some
pictures. As soon as I finish the roll, I will have some
pictures to share if anyone is interested. Just let me know.
