Charles C. Clements
Charles C. Clements was born around 1843 in Virginia to Harris and Martha Clements. His father was a farmer who owned $1,200 of real estate by 1850. The family lived in Fluvanna County, Virginia, until the 1850s, when they moved to Orange, Ohio.
Clements enlisted in the Union army on August 21, 1862, and he mustered in as a private in Company C of the 113th Ohio Infantry. The regiment took part in the Battle of Chickamauga, the Battle of Missionary Ridge, the Atlanta campaign, the March to the Sea, and the Carolinas campaign. He was promoted to corporal on January 20, 1864, and he mustered out on July 6, 1865.
He settled in Congress, Ohio, after the war and worked in a sawmill. He died of “heart trouble” in Gilead, Ohio, on January 27, 1903.
