Doctor Clemens was born in Wheeling, Virginia (now West 

 V^irginia), in 1829 or 1830, son of James Walton Clemens, 

 M.D., and Elinor Shcrrard. His father attended lectures at 

 the University of Pennsylvania in 1823-24.. The subject of 

 our sketch attended the X^irginia Military Institute for three 

 years previous to entering the University of Pennsylvania at 

 Philadelphia, where he was graduated from the Medical De- 

 partment in the class of 1849, but he did not actively practice 

 his profession. In 1850 he married Susan Burke Wagener, 

 daughter of David D. Wagener, of Easton, Pennsylvania, who 

 was a congressman from 1838 to 1841. Four children were 

 the result of this marriage: Mary Wagener Clemens, Harold 

 Clemens, James B. Clemens, M.D. (University Penna., T883). 

 and Maurice Clemens. The Practical Entomologist, a journal
