Carl Clemans and Family

Today I was in Snohomish and stopped by the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery to locate the grave of Carl Clemans, patriarch of the Alpine Lumber Company. Tim had been there a few years ago and gave me directions; drive past the office and on the gravel road, to the left. I was pretty close but was unable to find the markers so I called Tim for more detailed directions. Look around the maple tree he said.

Ah, there they are.








On the right: Carl Lane Clemans Jr. Feb. 28, 1907 - Jan. 1, 1908
Carl Lane Clemans 1873 - 1941
Harriet Smith Clemans 1878 - 1961



The Clemans family lived in Snohomish, at 315 Avenue C.

    Hello,

    I am trying to trace our family history and I think a lot of it is tied to the Clemens family. My grandfather was Charles Gibbons Flanagan Jr. His mother was Gertrude Clemans. She was daughter of a Hugh and Maria Clemans. (?) There are Calhouns mixed in there as well and some Owens.

    Also, my grandfather married someone named Ruth Cleveland and had a daughter, Aurelia, before he married Bertha May Colburn and my mother was born, Geraldine Flanagan.

    Do you know a good contact or source for the geneology up there? I believe Hugh Clemans was part of the Nippon Lumber Company. One of my greatgrandmothers brothers was Carl Lane Clemans of Stanford football fame.

      Lucy, Matt asked me to contact you. I don't know if any Clemans descendants do geneology or not. I have left a voice mail for Mike Clemans. I will send an email to Mark Peterson. Mark is a great-grandson of Carl Clemans. I think Mike is descended from Howard Clemans.

      You may contact me at 425 670 8167, or at tim@abarim.com. There is also an Alpine, WA facebook page, and a web site. I think Matt has links to them from this blog.

      I hope we may help your search.

    I am a clemans. My great grandfathers name was orlo clemans. I am wondering if anyone knows his relation to the other clemans in the area. My dad said orlos father was a logger and died in an accident at a mill but doesn't know much else about him. So he was raised primarily by his mother at logging camps in Oregon and Washington.
